Two waves of the same pitch have amplitudes in the ratio 1: 3 What will be the ratio of their (i) loudness, (ii) pitch?
(i) Loudness ∝ (amplitude)2
Loudness is proportional to amplitude square Ratio of loudness =`"L"_1/"L"_2 =((a_1)^2)/((a_2)^2)=(1)^2/(3)^2=1\/9=1:9`
(ii) Frequency of the sound wave has no effect on amplitude.
so, frequency remains the same if the pitch is unchanged.
∴`"Pitch of first wave"/"Pitch of second wave"`=`1/1`=1 :1.

Correct Answer: C
Solution :
We know, \[v=f\lambda \] \[\Rightarrow \]\[f=\frac{f}{\lambda }\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[f\propto \frac{1}{\lambda }\] As wave length ratio = 1 : 3 \[\therefore \]frequency ratio = 3 : 1

Correct Answer: C
Solution :
\[\lambda =66m\] \[f=?\] \[v=330\text{ }m/s\] We know that \[v=f\lambda \] \[\Rightarrow \]\[f=\frac{V}{\lambda }=\frac{330}{66}=5Hz\]

Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Distance of the boy from the wall = 70m distance travelled by sound (before echo is heard) \[=2\times 70m,\]speed of sound\[=350m{{s}^{1}}\] \[Time=\frac{distance}{speed}\] \[=\frac{2\times 70}{350}=0.4s\]

Correct Answer: A
Solution :
\[t=\frac{2}{3}s=1s,\] \[v=330\text{ }m/s,\text{ }s=?\] We know, \[v=\frac{s}{t}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[s=v\times t=330\times 1=330m\]
