Question

A source of sound placed at 300m away produces a tone of 500 hz . what is the time interval between successive compression from the source?​

Answer 1

The time interval between successive compressions from the source is 0.002 seconds.

Explanation:

Given:

             The source of the sound is 300 m away.

             Frequency of the sound wave is 500 hz.

So, according to question,  as we now,

                   ⇒ Time taken = $\frac{1}{frequency}$

 

                    ⇒ Time taken = $\frac{1}{500}$

                   ⇒ Time taken = 0.002 seconds

Hence, the time interval between successive compression from the source is 0.002 seconds.a
