    Two progressive wave are represented by the following equations: \[y1=5\sin 2\pi \left( 10t-0.1x \right)\] \[y2=10\sin 2\pi \left( 20t-0.2x \right)\] The ratio of intensities will be:

    A)  1 : 16

    B)  1 : 4

    C)  1 : 2

    D)  1 : 1

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Intensity of the wave is given by \[l=2{{\pi }^{2}}{{n}^{2}}{{A}^{2}}\rho \upsilon \] Here from the given equation \[{{A}_{1}}=5,{{A}_{2}}=10,{{\omega }_{1}}=10{{\omega }_{2}}=20\] \[{{k}_{1}}=0.1\]and\[{{k}_{2}}=0.2\] so\[{{\upsilon }_{1}}=\frac{{{\omega }_{1}}}{{{k}_{1}}}=\frac{10}{01}=100,{{\upsilon }_{2}}=\frac{{{\omega }_{2}}}{{{k}_{2}}}=\frac{20}{0.2}=100\] As \[{{\upsilon }_{1}}={{\upsilon }_{2}}\] and medium is same. Thus \[I\propto {{A}^{2}}{{n}^{2}}\] As \[n=\frac{\omega }{2\pi }\] so \[I\propto {{A}^{2}}{{\omega }^{2}}\] \[\frac{{{i}_{1}}}{{{I}_{2}}}=\frac{A_{1}^{2}\omega _{1}^{2}}{A_{2}^{2}\omega _{2}^{2}}={{\left( \frac{A_{1}^{{}}\omega _{1}^{{}}}{A_{2}^{{}}\omega _{2}^{{}}} \right)}^{2}}\] \[\frac{{{I}_{1}}}{{{I}_{2}}}={{\left( \frac{5}{10}\times \frac{10}{20} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{1}{16}\] Hence \[{{I}_{1}}:{{I}_{2}}=1:16.\]
