Are sound waves longitudinal or transverse?
A bat emits an ultrasonic sound of frequency 0.25 MHz. Calculate the time in which one vibration is completed.
The distance between one crest and one trough of a sea wave is 4.5 m. If the waves are produced at the rate of 240/min, calculate the wave velocity.
How do the following factor affect the speed of sound in air?
Pressure in air.
Match the following
| 1. | Infrasonic | (a) | Compressions |
| 2. | Echo | (b) | 22 kHz |
| 3. | Ultrasonic | (c) | 10 Hz |
| 4. | High-pressure region | (d) | Ultrasonography |
Draw a curve showing density or pressure variations with respect to distance for a disturbance produced by sound. Mark the position of compression and rarefaction on this curve. Also, define wavelengths and time periods using this curve.
