Question

A person is listening to a sound tone of $600Hz$ from a musical instrument, sitting $400m$ away from it. What is the time interval between two successive compressions from the instrument?

Answer 1

Step 1: Given data

Distance, $s=400m$

Frequency, $\lambda =600Hz$

Step 2: Formula used

The relation connecting frequency and time period, $T=\frac{1}{\nu }$

Step 3: To find the time period

$T=\frac{1}{\nu }$

$T=\frac{1}{600}$

$T=0.00167s$

Therefore, the time period between two successive compressions is $0.00167s$
