To solve the problem of how long it will take sound waves to travel the distance \( L \) between points A and B, where the air temperature varies linearly from \( T_1 \) to \( T_2 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between temperature and distance The temperature \( T \) varies linearly from \( T_1 \) to \( T_2 \) as we move from point A (at \( x = 0 \)) to point B (at \( x = L \)). We can express this relationship mathematically as: \[ T(x) = T_1 + \left(\frac{T_2 - T_1}{L}\right)x \] This equation represents the temperature as a function of the distance \( x \). ...
