On getting reflected at a surface,the intensity of sound is found to be decreased by $20 \%$. If $A$ be the amplitude of the incident sound waves,then the amplitude of reflected sound waves is

  • A
    $\frac{4}{5} A$
  • B
    $\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}} A$
  • C
    $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{5} A$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}} A$
