PART - II
. Radio waves of speed 3x108m/s are reflected off the moon and
received back on earth.
The time elapsed between the sending and receiving it back at the
earth station
is 2.5sec. What is the distance of moon from the earth?
. An observer stands at a distance of 850m from a cliff and fires a gun.
After what time
gap will he hear the echo, if speed of sound in air is 350m/s?
4
. What change, if any, would you expect in the characteristics of a
musical sound when we
3
increase – i) its frequency. ii) its amplitude.
. A pendulum has a frequency of 5 vibrations per second. An observer
starts the pendulum
and fires a gun simultaneously. He hears the echo from the cliff after 8
vibrations of the pendulum. If the velocity of sound in air is 340m/s,
what is the distance between the cliff and the observer?
. Sound made in front of a tall building 18m away, is repeated. Name the
phenomenon and briefly explain it.
. A radar is able to detect the reflected waves from an enemy
aeroplane, after a time
interval of 0.02milliseconds. If the velocity of the waves is 3 x 108 m/s,
calculate the distance of the plane from the radar.
. A sound wave has a frequency of 440 Hz. Calculate its period.
. If the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s and the wavelength of a sound
wave is 0.8 meters, what is the frequency of the wave?
. A sound wave travels through a medium with a speed of 1500 m/s. If
its frequency is 300 Hz, what is the wavelength of the wave?
. A person shouts towards a tall mountain and hears the echo after 3
seconds. If the speed of sound is 343 m/s, what is the distance
between the person and the mountain? (Assume the speed of sound
remains constant.)
. The frequency of a sound wave is 500 Hz. If the period of the wave is
0.002 seconds, calculate the speed of the wave.
