A person is listening to a tone of 500 Hz sitting at a distance of 450 m from the source of the sound.
Question.
A person is listening to a tone of 500 Hz sitting at a distance of 450 m from the source of the sound. What is the time interval between successive compressions from the source ?

Solution:
The time interval between two successive compressions is equal to the time period of the wave. It has nothing to do with the distance (450 m) of the person from the source.
Time interval $=\frac{1}{\text { Frequency }}=\frac{1}{500}=2 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~s}$
