Two identical point masses P and Q, suspended from two separate massless springs of spring constants \(k_1\) and \(k_2\), respectively, oscillate vertically. If their maximum speeds are the same, the ratio (\(A_Q/A_P\)) of the amplitude \(A_Q\) of mass \(Q\) to the amplitude \(A_P\) of mass \(P\) is:
1. \(\frac{k_2}{k_1}\)
2. \(\frac{k_1}{k_2}\)
3. \(\sqrt{\frac{k_2}{k_1}}\)
4. \(\sqrt{\frac{k_1}{k_2}}\)
