Question

A person is listening to a tone of 500 hertz sitting at a distance of 450 m from the source of sound what is the time interval between successive compression from the source

Answer 1

Frequency:-500 Hz

Distance:-450 m

Time=1/frequency

 =1/500

 =0.002 sec

Answer 2

The time interval between successive compressions from the source is equal to the time period and time period is reciprocal of the frequency. Therefore, it can be calculated as follows:

→T= 1/F

→T= 1/500

→T = 0.002 sec
