JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 11. Dual nature of radiation and matter

A point source is emitting sound waves of intensity \(16 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}\) at the origin. The difference in intensity (magnitude only) at two points located at a distances of \(2 \mathrm{~m}\) and \(4 \mathrm{~m}\) from the origin respectively will be _______ \(\times 10^{-8} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}\)

  1. A \(3\)
  2. B \(2\)
  3. C \(1\)
  4. D \(5\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Correct answer is : \(3\) We know for point source, \(I \propto \frac{1}{r^2}=\frac{K}{4 \pi r^2}\) \(r_1=2 m, r_2=4 m=2 r_1 \) \(I_0=16 \times 10^{-8} W / m ^2\) at \(2 m\), \(I_1=\frac{I_0}{(2)^2}=\frac{16 \times 10^{-8}}{4} \) \(I_1=4 \times 10^{-8} \)…
