For a particular sound wave propagating in air, a path difference between two points is $0.54 \, m$ which is equivalent to a phase difference of $(1.8 \pi)$. If the velocity of the sound wave in air is $330 \, m/s$, the frequency of this wave is: (in $Hz$.)

The ratio of the velocity of sound in hydrogen gas $(\gamma = 7/5)$ to that in helium gas $(\gamma = 5/3)$ at the same temperature is

$A$ train,standing in a station yard,blows a whistle of frequency $400 \, Hz$ in still air. The wind starts blowing in the direction from the yard to the station with a speed of $10 \, m/s$. Given that the speed of sound in still air is $340 \, m/s$. Mark the $INCORRECT$ statement:

Earthquakes generate sound waves inside the earth. Unlike a gas,the earth can experience both transverse $(S)$ and longitudinal $(P)$ sound waves. Typically,the speed of $S$ wave is about $4.0 \; km/s$,and that of $P$ wave is $8.0 \; km/s$. $A$ seismograph records $P$ and $S$ waves from an earthquake. The first $P$ wave arrives $4 \; min$ before the first $S$ wave. Assuming the waves travel in a straight line,at what distance (in $km$) does the earthquake occur?

If the density of oxygen is $16$ times that of hydrogen,what will be the ratio of their corresponding velocities of sound waves?
