What are sound waves ?

Speed of sound wave in air

Assertion: If two waves of same amplitude produce a resultant wave of same amplitude,then the phase difference between them will be 120 ^(@) Reason: The resultant amplitude of two waves is equal to vector sum of amplitudes treated as vectors

Two sources of sound are separated by a distance 4 m. They both emit sound with the same amplitude and frequency (330 Hz), but they are 180^@ out of phase. At what points between the two sources, will the sound intensity be maximum?

Assertion: For sound waves, air is rarer medium than water. Reason: For sound waves, the density of water is greater than air.

Two sources of sound A and B produce the wave of 350 Hz ,they vibrate in the same phase.The particle P is vibrating under the influence of these two wave.If the amplitudes at the point P Produced by the two waves is 0.3 mm and 0.4 mm ,then the resultant amplitude of the point P will be [Given AP -BP = 25 cm and the velocity of sound is 350 m/s ]

Complete the analogy Value of frequency: pitch of the sound :, value of amplitude :_______.
