Consider the point \(P\) located ahead of the wavefronts shown in Figure 34.3. Following the line of reasoning used in the preceding discussion, what can you say about the intensity (power/area, as defined in Eq. 30.34) at \(\mathrm{P}\) once the wave fronts reach it? (Consider separately points \(\mathrm{R}\) above, below, and on the ray through \(\mathrm{P}\).)
