Can you please explain how you derived A^2/S PLEASE

You should have read the post many time to understand:

Always remember "Intensity is directly proportional to amplitude square" , Revise the waves chapter,
Intensity proportional to (Amplitude) ^2

So, if the wave has an amplitude of A
The intensity will be proportional to (A)^2

If it has amplitude of 2A
The intensity will be proportional to (2A)^2 = 4A^2

If it has amplitude of 10
The intensity will be proportional to (10)^2 = 100

If it has amplitude of 20
The intensity will be proportional to (20)^2 = 400

I hope you have got it :), If not yet i want you to revise the chapter,

Sorry for late reply i have extremely unstable network and having problems in my area!

yup got this THANKS aLOT






the thing i didn't get is how we changed
I=power/area to I=A^2/S
Sorry for bothering you again

First find p.d between S and P then between S and Q
Formula we'll take in account is :
Resistance across p.d / Total resistance * voltage
Case i) - b/w S and P :¬
5000 / 10000 * 2 = 1V1

case ii) - b/w S and Q :¬
3000 / 5000 * 2 = 1.2V2

Now we are asked to find V1 - V2
Hence 1 - 1.2 = -0.2V = C
