Which of the following statements is correct?

$A$ surface of area $S$ is placed perpendicular to the direction of travel of a plane wave. The energy per unit time intercepted by the surface is $E$ when the amplitude of the wave is $A$. The area of the surface is reduced to $\frac{1}{2} S$ and the amplitude of the wave is increased to $2A$. What is the energy per unit time intercepted by this smaller surface?

$A$ 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 $A_P$)
