A source is producing 1500 sound waves in 3 seconds. If the distance covered by a compression and an adjacent rarefaction be 68 cm, find: (a) frequency, (b) wavelength, and (c) velocity, of the sound wave.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We know that frequency of a wave is the number of waves produced in 1 second.
Here, number of waves produced in 3 seconds`= 1500`
So, number of waves produced in 1 second `= (1500)/(3) = 500`
So, the frequency of this sound wave is 500 Hz.
