Question

A person who is sitting at a distance of 400 m from a source of sound is listening to a sound of 600 Hz. Find the time period between successive compressions from the source?

Answer 1

Frequency =  ${\displaystyle \frac{1}{\text{Time period}}}$

Time period = ${\displaystyle \frac{1}{\text{Frequency}}}$ = ${\displaystyle \frac{1}{600}}$

T = 0.00167 seconds

The time period between successive compressions from the source is 0.00167 seconds.
