· A sound wave has frequency of 2 kHz and wavelength of 35 cm. If an observer is1.4 km away from the source. At whattime interval could the observer hear thesound?(a) 2s (b) 20 (c) 0.55 (d) 45​

Answer»

It will TAKE 2 second to travel 1.5 km.Explanation:Given,Frequency = f = 2kHz = 2000 HzWavelength = λ = 35 cm = 35 / 100 MTO find: How long will it take to travel 1.5 kmSolution:Concept: WAVE SPEED is defined as the product of wavelength and frequency.i.e v = λfhere, λ = 35/100 m and f = 2000 HzSubstituting the values,v = 35/100* 2000 = 700 m /sSo, Speed of SOUND wave is 700 m/sThen, Time taken to travel the distance of 1.4 km = 1400 m will be:Time taken = distance travelled / wave velocityor, t = 1400 / 700 = 2 secondsTherefore, it will take 2 second to travel 1.5 km.
