A sound source of frequency 170 Hz is placed near a wall. A man walking from a source towards the wall finds that there is a periodic rise and fall of sound intensity. If the speed of sound in air is 340 m / s the distance (in metres ) separating the two adjacent positions of minimum intensity is

A

`1//2`

B

1

C

`3//2`

D

2

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`v=lambdafimplieslambda=(v)/(f)=(340)/(170)implieslambda=2`
Distance `(x)=(lambda)/(2)=(2)/(2)=1m`.
