Question

State whether the following statements is True or False.

The distance travelled by a sound wave in its periodic time is also called wavelength of the wave.

Answer 1

This statement is true.

Explanation:

• The distance travelled by the wave in one time period (T) is one wavelength, since v = λ/T.
• Hence, the distance covered by the wave in its periodic time equals its wavelength (λ = vT).
