The sound waves are reflected from an obstacle into the same medium from which they were incident. Which of the following changes?
Options
speed
frequency
wavelength
none of these
Solution
none of these
Hint:
If there is the same medium of a reflected obstacle is used, there is no change in speed, frequency, and wavelength of the sound.

The sound produced by a thunderstorm is heard 10 s after the lightning is seen. Calculate the approximate distance of the thunder cloud. (Given the speed of sound = 340 m s–1.)
Draw a curve showing density or pressure variations with respect to distance for a disturbance produced by sound. Mark the position of compression and rarefaction on this curve. Also, define wavelengths and time periods using this curve.
