(c) 2λ
(d) 4λ
Sound waves of wavelength λ travelling in a medium with a speed of v m/s enter into another medium where its speed is 2v m/s. Wavelength of sound waves in the second medium is
(a) λ
(b) 2 λ
(c) 2λ
(d) 4λ
This is a multiple choice answer as classified in NCERT Exemplar
(c) Let frequency of the two will be and it is same in both medium
So v/ = v'/
= v' /v
= 2v /v=2
Where and ' and v and v' are wavelength and speeds of first and second medium respectively
