A boy receives the echo of his clap reflected by a nearby hill 0.8s later. How far is he from the hill?

A.

528m

B.

66m

C.

136m

D.

264m

Correct answer is C

Time for echo both ways = 0.8
Therefore time for echo in 1 way = 0.8/2 = 0.4

Distance = Speed x time

Distance = 340 x 0.4

Distance = 136m

The distance between two successive crests of a wave is 15cm and the velocity 300ms-1. Calculate the frequency.

A.

2.0x102Hz

B.

4.5x103Hz

C.

2.0x103Hz

D.

4.5x102Hz

Correct answer is C

Wavelength = 15cm = 0.15m

Velocity = 300m/s

V = fx

F = V/Wavelength

F = 300/0.15 Hertz

F = 2 x 103Hz
