If the pressure amplitude in a sound wave is tripled,then the intensity of sound is increased by a factor of

$A$ transverse wave is passing through a stretched string with a speed of $20 \ m/s$. The tension in the string is $20 \ N$. At a certain point $P$ on the string,it is observed that energy is being transferred at a rate of $40 \ mW$ at a given instant. Find the speed of point $P$.

The displacement-time graphs for two sound waves $A$ and $B$ are shown in the figure. The ratio of their intensities $I_A/I_B$ is equal to:

As a wave propagates,which of the following statements is correct?

$A$ point source is emitting sound waves of intensity $16 \times 10^{-8} \text{ W m}^{-2}$ at a distance of $1 \text{ m}$ from the source. The difference in intensity (magnitude only) at two points located at distances of $2 \text{ m}$ and $4 \text{ m}$ from the source respectively will be . . . . . . $\times 10^{-8} \text{ W m}^{-2}$.

The figure shows a snapshot of a travelling sine wave along a string. Four elemental portions $a, b, c,$ and $d$ are indicated on the string. Which elemental portion$(s)$ has/have the maximum potential energy?
