Questions and Answers

What is the SI unit of frequency?

  • Meter
  • Hertz (correct)
  • Joule
  • Second

How is the time period of a sound wave defined?

  • Time taken for two rarefactions to cross a point
  • Time taken for a compression to cross a point
  • Time taken for two compressions to cross a point
  • Time taken for one complete oscillation (correct)

What is the relationship between frequency and time period of sound waves?

  • $v = 2T$
