Solution

The correct option is A In the form of a wave.
Sound travels as a wave where particles of the medium oscillate to and fro about their mean position. Particles of the medium do not travel along with the wave from the source to the listener, only the transfer of energy takes place.

Q. Assertion: The velocity of a sound wave is different in different mediums but pitch remains unchanged.
Reason: The velocity of a sound wave depends on the source, but pitch depends on the vibration of particles.

Q. A line source emits a cylindrical expanding wave. Assuming the medium absorbs no energy, find how the amplitude and intensity of the wave depends on the distance from the source?

Q. Frequency of a wave depends on source as well as medium.

Q. A source of sound moves towards a listener with a velocity equal to that of sound. If the source emits n waves per second, then the listener moving away from the source with the same velocity receives

Q. Doppler's effect in sound in addition to the relative velocity between source and observer also depends on whether source and observer also depend on whether source or observer or both are moving. Doppler effect in light depends only on the relative velocity of source and observer, the reason for this is:
