14.Waves and Sound
normal
A point source emits sound equally in all directions in a non-absorbing medium. Two points $P$ and $Q$are at distances of $2m$ and $3m$ respectively from the source. The ratio of the intensities of the waves at $P$ and $Q$ is
A
$9:4$
B
$2:3$
C
$3:2$
D
$4:9$
Solution
(a) Intensity $ \propto \frac{1}{{{{{\rm{(Distance)}}}^{\rm{2}}}}}$
==> $\frac{{{I_1}}}{{{I_2}}} = {\left( {\frac{{{d_2}}}{{{d_1}}}} \right)^2} = {\left( {\frac{3}{2}} \right)^2} = \frac{9}{4}$.
