A narrow sound pulse (for example, a short pip by a whistle) is sent across a medium. (a) Does the pulse have a definite (i) wavelength, (ii) frequency, (iii) speed of propagation ? (b) If the pulse rate is `1` after every `20 s`, (i.e. the whistle is blown for a split second after every `20 s`) is the frequency of the note produced by the whistle equal to `(1)/(20) = 0.05 Hz` ?

A narrow sound pulse (for example, a short pip by a whistle) is send across a medium. (a) Does the pulse have a definite (i) wavelength (ii) frequency (iii) speed of propagation? (b) If the pulse rate is 1 after every 20s. (i.e, by a whistle equal to 1/20 Hz?

A narrow pulse (for example, a short pip by a whistle) is sent across a medium. If the pulse rate is 1 after every 20 s (that is the whistle is blow for a split of second after every 20 s). Is the frequency of the note produced by the whistle equal to 1//20 or 0.05 Hz ?

Why is the heartbeat rate equal to the arterial pulse rate?

A man sitting in a moving train hears the whistle of the engine. The frequency of the whistle is 600 Hz

A: When a narrow pulse of light is sent through a medium, it doesn't retain its shape as it travels through the medium. R: Since the speed of propagation in a medium depends on wavelength , different wavelength components of the pulse travel with different speeds.
