Calculate the speed of a sound wave whose frequency is 2 kHz and wavelength 65 cm.

उत्तर
We have to find the velocity of the sound wave.
Given: Frequency f = 2,000 Hz
Wavelength λ = 0.65 m
We know the relation between velocity, frequency, and wavelength ν = f × λ,
where ν is the velocity, F the frequency, and λ the wavelength.
So,
ν = (2000) × (0.65) m/s
= 1300 m/s
Therefore, velocity of sound is 1300 m/s.

Sunil is standing between two walls. The wall closest to him is at a distance of 660 m. If he shouts, he hears the first echo after 4 s and another after another 2 seconds.
- What is the velocity of sound in air?
- What is the distance between the two walls?
Assertion: The speed of sound in air is less than the speed of sound in solid.
Reason: If we increase the temperature of medium, the speed of sound increases in any medium.
