Question
A person is listening to a tone of 500 Hz sitting at a distance of 450 m from the source of the sound. What is the time interval between successive compressions from the source?
Answer
Given:
Frequency (
\nu) =500 \text{ Hz}
Concept: The time interval between successive compressions is equal to the Time Period (T).
Formula: T = \frac{1}{\text{Frequency}}
Calculation:
T = \frac{1}{500}T = 0.002 \text{ s}
Answer:
The time interval between successive compressions is 0.002 s.
