Question

A sound wave from a clock tower chimes with a frequency of 436 Hz. It is heard by someone who is 515 m away 1.5 seconds after it chimes. What is the speed of the wave?

Answer 1

Answer:

Speed of the sound wave = 343.3 m/s

Explanation:

Distance traveled by the sound wave = 515 m

Time taken for the sound wave to be heard = 1.5 seconds

Speed of the sound wave = Distance / Time

Speed of the sound wave = 515/1.5

Speed of the sound wave = 343.3 m/s
