Given information
Given values:
The initial position's distance from the earthquake's source:
At the first location, the wave's intensity is:
The second position's distance from the earthquake's source is:
Introduction:
The strength of the wave formed at a place as a result of an earthquake is inversely related to the square of the point's
distance from the earthquake's source.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
The total energy traveling through a unit area surrounding a location per unit of time is described as the wave's intensity at
that point. The SI unit of intensity is 
.
Intensity is a scalar quantity. The square of the distance between a place and the source determines the intensity of a wave
at that point.
