The speed of sound in wood is 3300 m s−1 and the speed of sound in air is 330 m s−1. A hammer hits one end of a 33 m long plank of wood. Find the difference in time between the sound waves being detected at the other end of the plank and the sound being heard through the air.

Respuesta :

The difference in time between the sound waves being detected at the other end of the plank and the sound being heard through the air will be 0.09 sec.

What is a sound wave?

A sound wave is produced when a medium begins to vibrate. When an entity vibrates, a pressure wave is formed, which causes sound.

Given data;

The speed of sound in wood,u= 3300 m/s

The speed of sound in air,v=330 m/sec

long plank of wood, L=33 m

The time period in the air was found as;

T₁ = 33 m / 330 m/sec

T₁= 0.1 sec

The time period in wood ;

T₂= 33 m / 3300 m/sec

T₂=0.01 sec

T = T₁ - T₂

T=0.1-0.01

T=0.09 sec

Hence, the difference in time between the sound waves being detected at the other end of the plank and the sound being heard through the air will be 0.09 sec.
