Textbook Question
Chapter 27, Problem 30A
Your friend says that any radio wave travels appreciably faster than any sound wave. Do you agree or disagree, and why?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The radio wave travels faster than the sound wave will be correct or not.
Answer to Problem 30A
The speed will be same as it remain constant for all waves.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction : The speed is the product of wavelength & frequency.
The speed of radio wave is equal to sound wave as the frequency & wavelength vary to produce same speed of all waves.
Conclusion:
The speed will be same as independent of wavelength .
