Wave intensity at different points
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the calculation of wave intensity based on given amplitudes. It is established that intensity is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude, applicable to both water waves and electromagnetic waves. The introduction of the variable 'r' is unnecessary since the amplitudes are provided in the problem statement. The model answer correctly utilizes the relationship between amplitude and intensity without additional calculations.
