Two waves represented by the following equations are travelling in the same medium \(y_1 = 5 \sin2\pi (75t-0.25x)\)\(y_2 = 10 \sin2\pi (150t-0.50x)\). The intensity ratio \(\frac{I_1}{I_2}\) of the two waves will be:
1. \(1:2\)
2. \(1:4\)
3. \(1:8\)
4. \(1:16\)

A point source emits sound equally in all directions in a non-absorbing medium. Two points, \(P\) and \(Q,\) are at distances of \(2~\text m\) and \(3~\text m,\) respectively, from the source. The ratio of the intensities of the waves at \(P\) and \(Q\) is:
1. \(3:2\)
2. \(2:3\)
3. \(9:4\)
4. \(4:9\)

A point source of sound is placed in a non-absorbing medium. Two points \(A\) and \(B\) are at a distance of \(2~\text m\) and \(3~\text m\) from the source, respectively. The ratio of the intensity of the wave at \(A\) to that at \(B\) is:
1. \(\sqrt 3:\sqrt 2\)
2. \(3:2\)
3. \(9:4\)
4. \(2:3\)

Two coherent sound sources are at distances \(S_1=0.3\) m, \(S_2=0.55\) m from a point. Each wave produces intensity \(I_0\) at the point. If the frequency of each wave is \(1000\) Hz and the velocity in the medium is \(500\) m/s, then the intensity of the resultant wave at the point is:
1. zero
2. \(\frac{I_0}{2}\)
3. \(I_0\)
4. \(2I_0\)

When two waves with same frequency and constant phase difference interfere,

1. there is a gain of energy.
2. there is a loss of energy.
3. the energy is redistributed and the distribution changes with time.
4. the energy is redistributed and the distribution remains constant in time.
