NEET2011PhysicsWaves and SoundActual
Sound waves travel at 350 ~m / s through a warm air and at 3500 ~m / s through brass. The wavelength of a 700 ~Hz acoustic wave as it enters brass from warm air
Options
- Aincreases by a factor 20
- Bincreases by a factor 10
- Cdecreases by a factor 20
- Ddecreases by a factor 10
Correct answer
B. increases by a factor 10
Step-by-step solution
Velocity of sound y=n aligned & y₁ y₂ = n₁ ₁ n₂ ₂ (but n₁=n₂ ) & ₂= ₁ y₂ y₁ = ₁ 10 & ₂=10 ₁ aligned
