a sound wave has a frequency of 2 kHz and wavelength 35 centimetre .how long will it take to travel 1.5 kilometre ?

given, frequency = 2KHz = 2000Hz

wavelength = 35cm =0.35m

As we know, V = frequency wavelength

so, V = 2000 X 0.35 = 700 m/s

As it travel 1.5km [convert into metre] = 1500m

so, 1500/700 = 2.1 sec.

hope u r satisfied with this.,,if so mark as brainliest..

sanjanashetty30: i have a doubt of why the distance is divided by the sound?( in 1500/700=2.1s)

sanjanashetty30: sound- speed of sound*

Anonymous: it can be either 2.1 sec or 2.14 seconds ...

sanjanashetty30: no my question is why cant we divide speed by distance? 700/1500?

sanjanashetty30: ok...thank you...

Answer:

It will take 2.14 second to travel 1.5 km.

Explanation:

Given,

Frequency = f = 2kHz = 2000 Hz

Wavelength = λ = 35 cm = 35 / 100 m

To find: How long will it take to travel 1.5 km

Solution:

Concept: Wave speed is defined as the product of wavelength and frequency.

i.e v = λf

here, λ = 35/100 m and f = 2000 Hz

Substituting the values,

v = 35/100* 2000 = 700 m /s

So, Speed of sound wave is 700 m/s

Then, Time taken to travel the distance of 1.5 km = 1500 m will be:

Time taken = distance travelled / wave velocity

or, t = 1500 / 700 = 2.14 seconds

Therefore, it will take 2.14 second to travel 1.5 km.
