A person is listening to a tone of 500 Hz sitting at a distance of 450 m from the source of the sound. What is the time interval between successive compressions front the source?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here, v= 500 Hz, T = ?
The time interval between successive compressions is equal to the time period of the wave.
Time period `T=(1)=(1)/(v)=(1)/(500)=0.02s`
The time interval is 0.002 s.
(or `2xx10^(3)s`)
