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

$\mathrm{I} \propto \mathrm{A}^{2}, \mathrm{I} \propto \frac{1}{\mathrm{r}^{2}}, \frac{\mathrm{A}_{1}}{\mathrm{A}_{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{r}_{2}}{\mathrm{r}_{1}}$
