9th Class Science Sound Question Bank Sound

  • question_answer
    A sound wave travelling in a medium is represented as shown in figure.
     
    If vibrating source of sound makes 360 oscillations in 2 minutes, then the amplitude, wavelength and frequency of the sound wave respectively are (Take velocity of sound as\[342\text{ }m\text{ }{{s}^{-1}}\])
         

    A) 1 m, 114 m and 3 Hz

    B) 2 m, 3 m and 14 Hz

    C) 1 m, 5 m and 20 Hz

    D) 1 m, 100 m and 10 Hz.

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Here, amplitude of sound wave = 1 m (given) Wavelength of sound wave,\[\lambda =\frac{{{v}_{s}}}{v}...\left( i \right)\] In 2 minutes, number of oscillations = 360 In 1 second, number of oscillations \[=\frac{360}{2\times 60}=3\] \[\therefore \] Frequency of sound wave, \[\text{v=3}\,\,\text{Hz}\] Put the value of \[v\]in (i), \[\therefore \] Wavelength of sound wave, \[\lambda =\frac{342}{3}=114m\]
