To solve the problem of calculating the wave intensity 1 meter from a 2 watt point source in an isotropic non-absorbing medium, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Concept of Intensity**: Intensity (I) is defined as the power (P) per unit area (A). Mathematically, it can be expressed as: \[ I = \frac{P}{A} ...
