I = \frac{p}{4\pi r^{2}}  since P = constant

I \alpha \frac{1}{r^{2}} and I \alpha A^{2}

\frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}} = \sqrt{\frac{I_{1}}{I_{2}}} = \frac{9}{4}

 

Intensity of periodic sound waves -

I= \frac{\Delta P{_{m}}^{2}}{2\rho v}
 

- wherein

\Delta P_{m}= Maxmium pressure change

\rho = density

v= velocity of sound
