Solution
(a) The air in between Anhad and speaker vibrates with the frequency of 200 Hz. Sound is a longitudinal wave, so successive compression and rarefaction is formed between Anhad and the speaker.
(b) Anhad receives sound in the right ear by the sound waves transmitted directly from the loudspeaker, and in his left ear, he receives sound from sound waves reflected from the classroom wall.
