A person is listening to a tone of `500 Hz` sitting at a distance of `450 m` from the source of the sound. What is the time interval between successive compressions from the source ?

A

`1/500 s`

B

`450/500 s`

C

`500/450 s`

D

`500 s`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Here, frequency of the source, `v = 500 Hz`
time period of the tone, `T = (1)/(v) = (1)/(500) s`
The time period between successive compressions from the source is equal to the time period of the tone, i.e., `(1//500)s` and it has nothing to do with the distance `(450 m)` of the person from the source provided the sound wave reaches the person.
