- wavelength
- frequency and
- amplitude
- How is loudness related to the quantity mentioned above in part (a)?

उत्तर
- Amplitude - The louder sound corresponds to the wave of large amplitude.
- Loudness is directly proportional to the square of amplitude [loudness ∝ (amplitude)2].

State one important property of waves used for echo depth sounding.
A person is standing at the seashore. An observer on the ship which is anchored in between a vertical cliff and the person on the shore fires a gun. The person on the shore hears two sounds, 2 seconds and 3 seconds after seeing the smoke of the fired gun. If the speed of sound in the air is 320 ms-1 then calculate:
1) the distance between the observer on the ship and the person on the shore.
2) the distance between the cliff and the observer on the ship.
