A person who is sitting at a distance of 400 m from a source of sound is listening to a sound of 600 Hz. Find the time period between successive compressions from the source?
Given : Frequency of sound, n = 600 Hz
To find : Time period between
successive compressions, T = ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`T = 1/n = 1/600 = 0.00166s`
Time period, T = 0.0017 s
