In an experiment, Anhad studies sound waves. He sets up a loudspeaker to produce sound as shown below:
Anhad adjusts the signal to the loudspeaker to give a sound of frequency 200Hz.
Anhad adjusts the signal to the loudspeaker to give a sound of frequency 200Hz.

- The air in between Anhad and speaker vibrates with the frequency of $200Hz.$ Sound is a longitudinal wave, so successive compression and rarefaction is formed between Anhad and the speaker.
- Anhad receives sound in the right ear by the sound waves transmitted directly from the loudspeaker, and in his left ear, he receives sound from sound waves reflected from the classroom wall.

The medium $X$ brings the sound to man most quickly whereas medium $Z$ takes the maximum time. The time taken by medium $W$ in bringing sound to man is less than that of $X$ but more than that of $Z.$ The medium $Y,$ however, fails to bring the sound from the sound producing body to the man. Which medium could be the one:View Solution
