Relation between velocity frequency and wavelength of sound waves


Asked by admin @ in Physics viewed by 324 People


1.Write the relation between speed of sound,frequency and wavelength?

ans:-Speed of the sound is distance travelled by the sound wave per unit time . Denote buy 'v' distance travelled by soundwave in a peroidic time(T)=Wave length(lambda)
v=lambda/T-----(1)
But 1/T=v(frequency)
sub.in (1)
v=lambda*v
hence proved.

Let the time period of a wave be T seconds

In T seconds , number of waves generated =1

So, in 1 sec , number of waves generated =1/T

But number of waves generated in 1 second is frequency

frequency=1/T

velocity= distance travelled/time taken

V= λ/T=1/T× λ

V=frequency/λ

Your method is also correct
