wavelength of first sound , \lambda_1 = 87cm = 0.87m
wavelength of 2nd sound, \lambda_2 = 88.5cm = 0.885m

we know, v=n\lambda
so, frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength.
so, frequency of first ever is higher than frequency of 2nd wave.

given, number of beats per second = 10
so, n_2-n_1=10

or, \frac{v}{\lambda_1}-\frac{v}{\lambda_2}=10

or, v(1/0.87 - 1/885) = 10

after solving it we get, v = 513.3 m/a

Verified answer

wavelength of first sound ,

= 87cm = 0.87m

\lambda_1

wavelength of 2nd sound,

= 88.5cm = 0.885m

\lambda_2

we know,

v=n\lambda

so, frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength.

so, frequency of first ever is higher than frequency of 2nd wave.

given, number of beats per second = 10

so,

n_2-n_1=10

or,

\frac{v}{\lambda_1}-\frac{v}{\lambda_2}=10

or, v(1/0.87 - 1/885) = 10
