(d) $2d = v \times t$, where $v = $velocity of sound $= 332 \,m/s$
$t =$ Persistence of hearing = $\frac{1}{{10}}\sec $.
==> $d = \frac{{v \times t}}{2} = \frac{{332 \times \frac{1}{{10}}}}{2} = 16.5\,m$

    A wave is propagating along $x$-axis. The displacement of particles of the medium in $z$-direction at $t = 0$ is given by: $z =$ exp$[ -(x + 2)^2]$ , where $‘x’$ is in meters. At $t = 1s$, the same wave disturbance is given by: $z =$ exp $ [ - (2 - x)^2 ]$. Then, the wave propagation velocity is
