I have two conceptual doubts about 3D waves while self-studying,they are:
(1) For a 3D wave,we know that A∝1/r
Relations for intensity are as follows I∝A2 and I∝1/r2
Shouldn't this imply that I∝1/r4? Please tell me where am I messing up, as I can't figure out whats wrong here.
P.S.- I know the A∝1/r comes from the intensity relations only and I have a feeling thats where im getting my logic wrong.
(2) By same relation A∝1/r
shouldn't the power (p∝A) of a sound/point source wave decrease with distance?
