Numerical problem.
The frequency of a source of sound is 600 Hz. Calculate the numbner of times it vibrates in a minute?
Solution
The number of vibrations (complete waves or cycles) produced in one second is called frequency of the wave.
Hence, in one minute 600 x 60 vibrations are produced = 36000 (Need clarification)
