$A$ point source emits sound equally in all directions in a non-absorbing medium. Two points $P$ and $Q$ are at distances of $2 \ m$ and $3 \ m$ respectively from the source. The ratio of the intensities of the waves at $P$ and $Q$ is:

  • A
    $9:4$
  • B
    $2:3$
  • C
    $3:2$
  • D
    $4:9$
