Intensity of an earthquake wave passing

Reference no: EM13550469

The intensity of an earthquake wave passing through the Earth is measured to be 1.5×106J/m^2\cdot s at a distance of 55km from the source. What was its intensity when it passed a point only 1.0km from the source? express answer in two significant figures. At what rate did energy pass through an area of 3.0m^2 at 1.0km ?Express answer in two significant figures.
