(A) Given: Incident intensity $I_0 = 1.3 ~kW/m^2$,focal length $f = 20 ~cm$.Let $R$ be the radius of the lens aperture and $A = \pi R^2$ be its area.The light rays converge at the focus $F$ and then diverge.At a distance $v = 22 ~cm$ from the lens,the rays form a circular cross-section of radius $r$.Using similar triangles $	riangle ABF$ and $	riangle PQF$,where $AB$ is the diameter of the lens $(2R)$ and $PQ$ is the diameter of the cross-section $(2r)$:$\frac{r}{R} = \frac{v - f}{f} = \frac{22 - 20}{20} = \frac{2}{20} = \frac{1}{10}$.The area of the cross-section at $22 ~cm$ is $a = \pi r^2$.Since $r = R/10$,we have $a = \pi (R/10)^2 = \frac{\pi R^2}{100} = \frac{A}{100}$.The total power $P$ incident on the lens is $P = I_0 	imes A$.This same power passes through the area $a$ at $22 ~cm$.Therefore,the intensity $I$ at $22 ~cm$ is $I = \frac{P}{a} = \frac{I_0 	imes A}{A/100} = 100 	imes I_0$.$I = 100 	imes 1.3 ~kW/m^2 = 130 ~kW/m^2$.
