Intensity of an earthquake wave passing through the earth

Reference no: EM13550480

The intensity of an earthquake wave passing through the Earth is measured to be 2.5×10^6J/m^2*s at a distance of 51km from the source. What was its intensity when it passed a point only 1.5km from the source? At what rate did energy pass through an area of 7.0m^2 at 1.5km ?
