Question

The total number of compressions and rarefactions produced per second in a sound wave is 1000. The frequency of the sound wave is .....

Answer 1

Answer:

The frequency of the sound wave is 500 Hz

Explanation:

If the frequency of the wave is 1 Hz then

1 Hz of Freuency = (1 Compression + 1 Rarefacion) in a second

Therefore,

500 compression + 500 rarefaction in a second means the frequency is 500 Hz

or, 1000 compressions and rarefactions in a second will have frequency = 500 Hz

Hope the answer is helpful.
