Velocity of sound waves in air is 330 m/s. For a particular sound wave in air, a path difference of 40 cm is equivalent to phase difference of $1.6\, \pi$. The frequency of this wave
- 165 Hz
- 150 Hz
- 660 Hz
- 330 Hz
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
$\lambda=2\pi\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta \phi}=\frac{2\pi(0.4)}{1.6 \pi}=0.5\,m$
$\upsilon =\frac{v}{\lambda}=660\, Hz$
Top Questions on Waves
- A closed organ and an open organ tube filled by two different gases having the same bulk modulus but different densities \( \rho_1 \) and \( \rho_2 \), respectively. The frequency of the 9th harmonic of the closed tube is identical with the 4th harmonic of the open tube. If the length of the closed tube is 10 cm and the density ratio of the gases is \( \rho_1 : \rho_2 = 1 : 16 \), then the length of the open tube is:

Waves
Waves are a disturbance through which the energy travels from one point to another. Most acquainted are surface waves that tour on the water, but sound, mild, and the movement of subatomic particles all exhibit wavelike properties. inside the most effective waves, the disturbance oscillates periodically (see periodic movement) with a set frequency and wavelength.
Types of Waves:
Transverse Waves -
Waves in which the medium moves at right angles to the direction of the wave.
Examples of transverse waves:
- Water waves (ripples of gravity waves, not sound through water)
- Light waves
- S-wave earthquake waves
- Stringed instruments
- Torsion wave
The high point of a transverse wave is a crest. The low part is a trough.
Longitudinal Wave -
A longitudinal wave has the movement of the particles in the medium in the same dimension as the direction of movement of the wave.
Examples of longitudinal waves:
- Sound waves
- P-type earthquake waves
- Compression wave
