Question

A mad doctor believes that baldness can be cured by warming the scalp with sound waves. His patients sit underneath the Bald-o-Matic loudspeakers, where their heads are bathed with 91 dB of soothing 800 Hz sound waves. Suppose we model a bald head as a 16-cm-diameter hemisphere.

If 0.30 J of sound energy is considered an appropriate "dose," how many minutes should each therapy session last?
