Question:

If I is the intensity of light and A is amplitude of the wave, then which of the following is true?

Options:

I ∝ \( {A }^{ 3} \)

I ∝ \( {A }^{ 1/2} \)

I is independent of A

I ∝ \( {A }^{ 2} \)

Correct Answer:

I ∝ \( {A }^{ 2} \)

Explanation:

Intensity always varies as the square of the amplitude.
