(c) $I \propto \frac{1}{{{r^2}}} \Rightarrow \frac{{{I_2}}}{{{I_1}}} = \frac{{r_1^2}}{{r_2^2}}$

==> $\frac{{{I_2}}}{{1 \times {{10}^{ - 2}}}} = \frac{{{2^2}}}{{{{10}^2}}} = \frac{4}{{100}}$ 

==> ${I_2} = \frac{{4 \times {{10}^{ - 2}}}}{{100}}$ = $4 \times {10^{ - 4}}\;\mu \;W/{m^2}$

    A train moves towards a stationary observer with speed $34 m/s$. The train sounds a whistle and its frequency registered by the observer is ${f_1}$. If the train’s speed is reduced to $17\, m/s$, the frequency registered is ${f_2}$. If the speed of sound is 340 m/s then the ratio ${f_1}/{f_2}$ is
