Question: A person has a hearing range from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. What are the typical wavelengths of sound waves in air corresponding to these two frequencies? Take the speed of sound in air as 344 ms–1 . Ans. (I) Wavelength of sound waves corresponding to 20 Hz, u = u = 344 ms–1, v = 20 Hz λ 1 = v/n = 334/20 = 17.2 m λ 2 =v/n = 334/20,000 = 0.0172 m Question: The frequency of a source of sound is 100 Hz. How many times does it vibrate in a minute? Ans. Frequency of sound = 100 Hz = 100s –1 Number of vibrations in 1 s = 100 Number of vibrations in 1 minute, i.e. 60 seconds =100x60 =6000vibrations Question: Explain how bats use ultrasound to reach a prey. Ans. Bats produce high pitched ultrasonic waves that are not heard by humans. These ultrasonic waves strike the prey like an insect and it is reflected back in the form of an echo, which is heard by the bat. This enables the bat to hover on the insect and catch it. Question: A sonar device on a subma
