    Question

    Study the given statements (P, Q) pertaining to propagation of sound waves and
    select the most appropriate option with respect to the correctness of the statements.
    P. Sound propagation from one point to another point is governed by Sabines' formula Q. In air, sound propagates as longitudinal waves.

    A.

    Neither P nor Q

    B.

    Both P and Q

    C.

    Q only

    D.

    P only

    Correct option is C


    Sound waves
    • The sound is defined as a vibration that propagates as an audible wave of pressure,
    through a medium such as a gas, liquid or solid.
    • The disruption pattern that results from energy moving away from the sound source is
    called a sound wave.
    • Sound waves are longitudinal waves.
    • Sound propagation from one point to another point is governed by Mechanical wave's
    formula.
    • This indicates that the direction of energy wave propagation and particle vibration
    propagation are parallel.
    • The atoms vibrate back and forth when they are in this state.
    • There are high-pressure and low-pressure regions in the medium as a result of this
    constant back and forth action. These areas of high and low pressure are referred to as
    rarefactions and compressions, respectively.
    Sabine's formula
    • According to Sabine's formula, the reverberation time is used to find out the sound
    quality in an auditorium, concert hall, or other places.
    • Reverberation time is the time that is required by the sound to decay or fade away in an
    enclosed area after stopping the source of the sound.
