Given:

The distance from the tuning fork is d = 300 cm

The power is P = 0.0085 W

To find the intensity.

Step-by-step explanation:

The intensity is defined as the power per unit area.

Wavelets are in the shape of sphere.

The intensity can be calculated by the formula


I=(P)/(4\pi d^2)

On substituting the values, the intensity will be


\begin{gathered} I=(0.0085)/(4*3.14*(3)^2) \\ =\text{ 7.52}*10^(-5)\text{ W/m}^2 \end{gathered}

The intensity o
