Calculate the velocity of the wave using the formula: (frequency of wave)x(wavelength)=(velocity of wave)
In this case, the velocity is:
In this case, the velocity is:v = [2*(10^3)]x[35/100] m/s
In this case, the velocity is:v = [2*(10^3)]x[35/100] m/sv = 700 m/s
Now, we know that (velocity)=(displacement)/(time)
therefore, displacement of the wave or the distance travelled by it is given by:
d = 700*2 m =1400m✔
Given,
Wavelength = 35 cm
Frequency = 2kHz
Speed of the sound wave = Wavelngth × Frequency
= 0.35 × 2000
= 700m/s
Now,
Speed = 700m/s
Distance = 2km = 2000m
Time = Distance/speed
= 2000/700
= 2 sec (approx)
This is the correct solution sis with exact values..
Hope it helps...
