Ultrasound utilizes different intensities and frequencies of sound to stimulate/provoke tissue with waves (vibration therapy). Treatments have been able to alleviate pain due to osteoarthritis, myofascial pain, bursitis, pain from scar tissue, phantom limb pain, sprains, and strains (1). The sound transducer (generator) is circular with a radius of 1.8 cm, and it produces a sound intensity of 5.9 × 102W/m2. How much time is required for the transducer to emit 4800 J of sound energy?
