As a wave propagates:

  • A
    The wave intensity remains constant for a plane wave.
  • B
    Total intensity (power) of the spherical wave over the spherical surface centered at the source remains constant at all times.
  • C
    The wave intensity decreases as the inverse square of the distance from the source for a spherical wave.
  • D
    All of the above.

$A$ surface of area $S$ is placed perpendicular to the direction of travel of a plane wave. The energy per unit time intercepted by the surface is $E$ when the amplitude of the wave is $A$. The area of the surface is reduced to $\frac{1}{2} S$ and the amplitude of the wave is increased to $2A$. What is the energy per unit time intercepted by this smaller surface?

On getting reflected at a surface,the intensity of sound is found to be decreased by $20 \%$. If $A$ be the amplitude of the incident sound waves,then the amplitude of reflected sound waves is
