A sound wave has a frequency of 1500 Hz andwavelength 25 cm. How long will it take to travel 3 km?​

Answer»

Solution :

Given:

✏ Frequency of SOUND wave = 1500Hz

✏ Wavelength = 25cm

✏ Distance covered = 3km

To Find:

TIME requires to cover the given distance.

Formula:

✏ Relation between frequency, wave velocity and wavelength is given by

\bigstar \sf \:  { \boxed{\tt{ \pink{frequency =  \frac{velocity}{wavelength}}}}} \:  \bigstar

✏ Relation between velocity, distance and time is given by

\bigstar \:  \boxed{ \tt{ \green{ velocity =  \dfrac{distance}{time}}}}  \:  \bigstar

Conversation:

  • 25 cm = 0.25 m
  • 3 km = 3000 m

Calculation:

____________________________

\implies \sf \:  \red{ \nu =  \dfrac{v}{ \lambda}  =  \dfrac{d}{ \lambda \times t} } \\  \\  \implies \sf \: 1500 =  \dfrac{3000}{0.25 \times t}  \\  \\  \implies \sf \: t =  \dfrac{3000}{1500 \times 0.25}  \\  \\  \implies \:  \boxed{ \tt{ \large{ \purple{t = 8 \: sec}}}}

Additional information:

  • Velocity is defined as ratio of distance covered to the TOTAL times.
  • Wavelength is defined as distance covered by wave in time equal to time period.
  • Time period is defined as time requires to complete ONE oscillation.
