The frequency of a source of sound is 100 Hz. How many times does it vibrate in a minute?

उत्तर
Frequency is defined as the number of oscillations per second. It is given by the relation:
Frequency = `"Number of oscillations"/"Total time"`
Number of oscillations = Frequency × Total time
Given, Frequency of sound = 100 Hz
Total time = 1 min = 60 s
Number of oscillations = υ × t
= 100 × 60
= 6000
Hence, the source vibrates 6000 times in a minute, producing a frequency of 100 Hz.

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?
