A handclap on stage in an amphitheater sends out sound waves that scatter from terraces of wdth `w = 0.75 m` (see figure). The sound returns to the stage as a periodic series of pulses, one from each terrace, the parade of pulses sound like a played note. Assuming that all the rays in Figure are horizontal, find the frequency at which the pulses return (that is, the frequency of the perceived note). Take the speed of sound to be `330m//s`

A

`248Hz`

B

`220Hz`

C

`456Hz`

D

`440Hz`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
