Answer:
(C) 16
Explanation:
Given:
The amplitude of first wave (s₁) = 20 mm
The amplitude of second wave (s₂) = 5 mm
Intensity of first wave = Iₓ
Intensity of second wave =
The intensity associated with a wave depends on the amplitude of the wave.
The intensity (I) is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude (s) of the wave and is expressed as:
Now, the intensities of the two waves are given as:
Dividing both the intensities, we get:
Therefore, the option (C) is correct.
