Two children are at opposite ends of an aluminium rod. One strikes the end of the rod with a stone. Find the ratio of times takes by the sound wave in air and in aluminum to reach the second child.

Answer»



Solution :Velocity of sound in air `=346` m/s
Velocity of sound WAVE w in aluminium`=6420` m/s
Let LENGTH of rod be 1
Time TAKEN for sound wave in air `t_(1)=1//`velocity in air
Time taken for sound wave in aluminium,
`T_(2)=1//`velocity in a aluminium.
THEREFORE, `t_(1)//t_(2)=` velocity in aluminium/velocity in air `=6420//346=18.55:1`
