Two sound waves of frequencies 500Hz and 2000Hzare moving through air find the ratio of their speeds in air.

Open in App

Solution

$The speed of the sound depends on the properties of medium as it is an elastic wave . Speed of sound in air does not depend on frequency . Therefore, the ratio of their speed will be same .$
