Question

49.a)Calculate the time taken by a sound to travel 1.5km when frequency and wavelength are 2000Hz and 0.35 m respectively.
b) Differentiate between longitudinal way and transverse wave.

Answer 1

Frequecy=f=2hz

Wavelength=λ=40cm=0.4m

Distance=S=1.6km=1600m

Time taken by the wave to reach the distance 1600m = t = ??

Solution:

Since we know that :-

V=fλ

By using the above formula we will find velocity (v):-

V=2×0.4

V=0.8m/s

So as we know that:-

V=S/t

Therefore:-

T=S/V

By subsituting the values in above equation:

T=1600/0.8

T=2000seconds
