Draw a diagram representing a wave of amplitude 4 cm and wavelength 2 m. If the frequency of the wave is 150 Hz, calculate its velocity.
A sound wavelength of 0.332 m has a time period of 10−3 s. If the time period is decreased to 10−4 s, calculate the wavelength and frequency of the new wave.
The direction of the incident sound, the direction of reflected sound, and the normal are in different Planes.
