MCQ

A sound source of frequency $170 Hz$ is placed near a wall. A man walking from a source towards the wall finds that there is a periodic rise and fall of sound intensity. If the speed of sound in air is $340\, m/s$ the distance (in metres) separating the two adjacent positions of minimum intensity is

A
$0.5$
✓
$1$
C
$1.5$
D
$2$

✓

Answer

Correct option: B.

$1$

b
(b) $v = n\lambda $ ==> $\lambda = \frac{v}{n} = \frac{{340}}{{170}}$==> $\lambda = 2$
Distance separating the position of minimum intensity

= $\frac{\lambda }{2} = \frac{2}{2} = 1\,m$
