1 C
2 B = 75 m
3 C 8 Speed of sound in air
2  PQ = 1.68  340 =
 PQ = 286 m
4 Distance of the object from the bat =
= speed  time = 333 m s1
= 340 

= 34 m
5 (a) By v = f,

= = = 0.833 m

The wavelength is 0.833 m.

(b) When the sound wave travels from iron
to air, its frequency does not change.
The frequency of the sound wave in air
is still 6000 Hz, which is within the
audible frequency range. Therefore, we
can hear it.
6 (a) Distance travelled
= speed  time
= 340  2.5
= 850 m
(b) The speed of sound in concrete is higher
than in air. Therefore, the distance
travelled through concrete is longer.
7 (a) The frequency of the sound waves is
greater than 20 000 Hz. Therefore, the
sound waves are ultrasound.
(b) Time lapse between emitting and
receiving the pulse
= 5  (20  103)
= 0.1 s
Depth of the shoal of fish
= speed  time
