$A$ point source emits sound equally in all directions in a non-absorbing medium. Two points $P$ and $Q$ are at distances of $2 \ m$ and $3 \ m$ respectively from the source. The ratio of the intensities of the waves at $P$ and $Q$ is:

  • A
    $9:4$
  • B
    $2:3$
  • C
    $3:2$

$A$ musical instrument $P$ produces sound waves of frequency $n$ and amplitude $A_P$. Another musical instrument $Q$ produces sound waves of frequency $\frac{n}{4}$. The waves produced by $P$ and $Q$ have equal energies. If the amplitude of waves produced by $P$ is $A_P$,the amplitude of waves produced by $Q$ will be: (in $A_P$)

Two waves represented by the following equations are travelling in the same medium: $y_1 = 5\sin 2\pi (75t - 0.25x)$ and $y_2 = 10\sin 2\pi (150t - 0.50x)$. The intensity ratio $I_1/I_2$ of the two waves is:

$A$ string of mass $100 \, g$ is clamped between two rigid supports. $A$ wave of amplitude $2 \, mm$ is generated in the string. If the angular frequency of the wave is $5000 \, rad/s$,then the total energy of the wave in the string is ..... $J$.
