Waves And Sound Question 4
Question 4 - 2024 (30 Jan Shift 2)
A point source is emitting sound waves of Power $16 \times 10^{-8} W$ at the origin. The ratio of intensity (magnitude only) at two points located at a distances of $2 m$ and $4 m$ from the origin respectively will be $Wm^{-2}$. [We modified question statement, In official NTA paper question was incomplete]

Answer: (4)
Solution:
Intensity $=$ Power/Area
Ratio of intensity will be inverse square ratio of distances
Ratio $=\frac{4^{2}}{2^{2}}=4$
