$A$ stationary point source of sound emits sound uniformly in all directions in a non-absorbing medium. Two points $P$ and $Q$ are at a distance of $4 \ m$ and $9 \ m$ respectively from the source. The ratio of amplitudes of the waves at $P$ and $Q$ is

  • A
    $\frac{3}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{4}{9}$
  • C
    $\frac{2}{3}$
  • D
