Just measure the area of the 1x1 square that u can form it comes out to be
1.25*0.125=0.15625mC = 156.25microC =156microC

This is just the area of one such box so multiply it with the no. of 1 x 1 squares below line to get answer !
How did you get 1.25 and 0.125? Sorry for bothering :/

You really need the paper in its exact form and dimensions so that u can see the number of small blocks that are present in 1 cm so i actually enlarged the paper to the size we normally have and then used a scale to see what 1cm is. Dont worry in exam this will be easy.

I'm assuming that you got the answers for the previous two parts.. for part (iii),
Intensity received back= (intensity reflected at the muscle-bone boundary)e^-(23 * 4.1 * 10^-2)

[ e^-(23 * 4.1 * 10^-2) = 0.39]


intensity of the wave incident on the boundary was 0.39I, as calculated in part (ii)
0.33 of this was reflected at the boundary.
So intensity reflected at the muscle-bone boundary= .39 * .33I

answer= .39 * .33I * .39 = .050I

I hope this helps
why you multiplied 0.39 twice ? :O

Thing is, the ray is being absorbed twice and is being total internally reflected once.
So first I is being absorbed so we have 0.39I being transmitted to the bone and muscle boundary. 0.33 times 0.39 is then being internally reflected so we have 0.33 x 0.39I. Then again when it is moving from the boundary to the outside, it is again being absrbed so we have 0.39 x 0.33x 0.39 I which is why they squared the 0.39.
