    Velocity of sound waves in air is 330 m/s. For a particular sound wave in air, a path difference of 40 cm is equivalent to phase difference of 1.671. The frequency of this wave is

    A)  \[165\text{ }Hz\]

    B)  \[150\text{ }Hz\]

    C) \[60{}^\circ \]

    D) \[330\,Hz\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] From \[\Delta x=\frac{\lambda }{2\pi }\Delta \phi ,\] \[\lambda =2\pi \frac{\Delta x}{\Delta \phi }=\frac{2\pi (0.4)}{1.6\pi }=0.5\] \[v=\frac{v}{\lambda }=\frac{330}{0.5}=660\,Hz\]
