प्रश्न
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?

उत्तर
The time interval between two successive compressions is equal to the time period of the wave. This time period is reciprocal of the frequency of the wave and is given by the relation:
T = `1/"Frequency"`
= `1/500`
= 0.002 s

A sound producing body is at considerable distance from a man. There can be four different media W, X, Y and Z between the sound producing body and the man. The medium X brings the sound to man most quickly whereas medium Z takes the maximum time. The time taken by medium W in bringing sound to man is less than that of X but more than that of Z. The medium Y, however, fails to bring the sound from the sound producing body to the man. Which medium could be the one :
(a) having on fixed shape and no fixed volume?
(b) having a fixed volume but no fixed shape?
(c) having the same composition as that on the moon?
(d) having a fixed shape and a fixed volume?
