When a sound is made from a distance of 18 m, in front of a tall building, it is found to get repeated again. Which phenomenon is associated with this observation? Give a brief explanation of this phenomenon?
Waves produced on the surface of the water are formed to move with a velocity of 24 ms−1. If the wavelength of these waves equals 20 cm. find the
(i) frequency (no. of waves produced per second)
(ii) the time period (i.e. the time required to produce one wave) for these waves.
