Sound is more cleary heard with the wind How?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

If the wind blows from the source to the listener, the velocity of the wind is added to that of the sound. The upper layer of air possesses a greater velocity of sound than that in the lower layers. The result is that the wavefront turn downwards and the sound rays curl down. A listener (O) on the ground thus has a better chance of hearing
