प्रश्न
A sound signal of 128 vibrations per second has a wavelength of 2.7 m. Calculate the speed with which the wave travels.
उत्तर
We have to find the velocity of the sound wave.
Frequency is number of vibrations produced per second.
Given: Frequency f = 128 Hz
Wavelength λ = 2.7 m
We know the relation between velocity, frequency, and wavelength ν = f × λ,
where ν is the velocity, f the frequency, and λ the wavelength.
So,
ν = (128) × (2.7) m/s
= 345.6 m/s
Therefore, velocity of sound is 346 m/s .
