In a longitudinal wave, there is a state of maximum compression at a point at an instant. The frequency of the wave is 50Hz. After what time will the same point be in the state of maximum rarefaction ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Time interval between a compression and adjoining rarefaction
`(T)/(2)=(1)/(2n)=(1)/(2xx50)=(1)/(100)s`
