Physics Wave and Sound Basics of Mechanical Waves and Amplitude of the Waves MCQ (Single Correct)

Figure shown is a graph, at a certain time t, of the displacement function S (x, t) of three sound waves 1,2 and 3 as marked on the curves that travel along an x-axis through air. If p 1 , p 2 and p 3 represent their pressure amplitudes respectively, then correct relation between them is:

A
P 1 > P 2 > P 3
B
P 3 > P 2 > P 1
C
P 1 = P 2 = P 3
D
P 2 >P 3 >P 1
