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 a distance of $9\ meters$ and $25\ meters$ respectively from the source. The ratio of the amplitudes of the waves at $P$ and $Q$ is
A
$5 : 3$
B
$3 : 5$
C
$25 : 9$
D
$625 : 81$
Solution
$\mathrm{I} \propto \mathrm{A}^{2}, \mathrm{I} \propto \frac{1}{\mathrm{r}^{2}}, \frac{\mathrm{A}_{1}}{\mathrm{A}_{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{r}_{2}}{\mathrm{r}_{1}}$
