An observer X is on an island 5500 m from a vertical cliff on the shore. A ship Y is anchored between the island and the Cliff. A blast on the ship’s siren is heard twice by X, the interval being 5s. [Velocity of sound = 330 ms−1]

State three conditions necessary for hearing sound.
The distance between one crest and one trough of a sea wave is 4.5 m. If the waves are produced at the rate of 240/min, calculate the wave velocity.
How does the sound produced by a vibrating object in a medium reach your ears?
What is a longitudinal wave?
Draw a curve showing density or pressure variations with respect to distance for a disturbance produced by sound. Mark the position of compression and rarefaction on this curve. Also, define wavelengths and time periods using this curve.
