Sounds waves travel at `350m//s` through a warm air and at `3500m//s` through brass. The wavelength of a `700 Hz`. Acoustic wave as it enters brass from warm air

A

Decreases by a factor 20

B

Decreases by a factor 10

C

Inreases by a factor 20

D

Inceases by a factor 10

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Since, frequency is same in both the medium - `lambda prop v`
Increases by a factor 10 as `lambda_(2)=10lambda_(1)`.
