Wave Mechanics Question 821

Question: If velocity of sound in a gas is 360 m/s and the distance between a compression and the nearest rarefaction is 1m, then the frequency of sound is

[KCET 1999]

Options:

A) 90 Hz

B) 180 Hz

C) 360 Hz

D) 720 Hz

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Distance between a compression and the nearest rarefaction is $ \frac{\lambda }{2}=1m,. $ Hence $ n=\frac{v}{\lambda }=\frac{360}{2}=180,Hz $ .
