The frequency of a source is 20 kHz. The frequencies of sound wave produced by it in water and air will be

A

be the same as that of the source

B

depend upon the velocity of the waves in these media

C

depend upon the wavelength of the waves in these media

D

depend upon the density of the media.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Frequency of the sound waves depends only on the source. It doesn.t depend on the wavelength, velocity or the refractive index of the medium.

The frequency of sound produced by a bell is 500 Hz the velocity of the source relative to still air is 60 m/s. An observer moves at 30 m/s along the same line as the source. Calculate the frequency of sound wave measured by the observer. Consider all possible cases (speed of sound v=340(m)/(s) .)

The frequency of a tuning fork is 150 Hz and distance travelled by the sound, produced in air is 20 cm in one vibration. Calculate the speed of sound in air.
