A sound wave having frequency of 300 Hz is travelling in an unknown medium. Its wavelength is not known. It travels a distance equal to 150 times its wavelength in time t. The value of t is:

  1. A. 0.5 s
  2. B. 1 s
  3. C. 1.5 s
  4. D. 2 s

Correct Answer: A. 0.5 s

Explanation

Using v = f \lambda and d = vt, we have 150 \lambda = (300 \lambda)t. Solving for t gives 150/300 = 0.5 s[cite: 1].
