A person is listening to a tone of 500 Hz sitting at a distance of 450 m from the source of the sound. What is the time interval between successive compressions from the sources?
Given,
Frequency, f = 500 Hz
Time period, T =
= 
= 0.002 s
Therefore, the time interval between successive compressions from the source of sound is equal to the time-period of sound waves.
