Question

The equation for spherical progressive wave is (where $r$ is the distance from the source)

✓

Answer

(d) For spherical wave intensity $(I) \propto \frac{1}{{{{({\rm{Distance}}\,r)}^2}}}$

also $I \propto {a^2}$ ==> $a \propto \frac{1}{r}$. Hence equation of a cylindrical wave is $y = \frac{1}{r}\sin (\omega t - kx)$
