Answer to: A sound signal of 128 vibrations per second has a wavelength of 2.7m. Calculate the speed with which the wave travels.

Frequency is the no. of vibrations produced per second = 128 Hz Wavelength, λ = 2.7 m Speed = fλ = 345.6 m/s

Answer to: When we open a gas tap for a few seconds, the sound of escaping gas is heard first but the smell of gas comes later. Why?

The sound is heard before because the sound waves travel through the air molecules by creating vibrations while the smell reaches to us through the mo...

Answer to: Give reason for the following: In most of the cases, we cannot see the vibrations of a sound producing objects with our eyes.

We cannot see the vibrations because the time interval between the two successive vibrations is very less that it hard to observe them.
