    7 Sound from a loudspeaker is travelling in air towards a solid wall.

    Fig. 7.1 shows compressions of the incident sound wave and the direction of travel of the wave.

    P 8.5 m Q
    wall

    direction of

    (b) The distance from point P to point Q is 8.5 m. It takes 25 ms for the compression at P to
    reach Q.

    For this sound wave, determine

    (i) the wavelength,

    wavelength = ...........................................................[1]

    (ii) the frequency.

    frequency = ...........................................................[2]

    (c) As it strikes the wall, the sound reflects.

    Complete Fig. 7.1 to show the positions of three compressions of the reflected sound wave.

    (d) The loudspeaker is immersed in water, where it continues to produce sound of the same
    frequency.

    State and explain how the wavelength of the sound wave in water compares with the
    wavelength determined in (b)(i).
