Question

Two sound wave have equal displacement amplitudes, but one has twice the frequency of the other.
What is the ratio of their intensities?

Open in App

Solution

Intensity is directly proportional to amplitude
$A^{2} = I$

Since amplitude remains constant or equal so ratio of intensities will be

$1 : 1$
