Explanation
To calculate the frequency in hertz, we have to measure the time in seconds.
That is, t= 1 minute = 60 seconds.
Number of time it beats = 75 times per minute.
Frequency is given as,
Number of times it beats/Total time taken in seconds = 75/60 = 1.25 Hz.
Hence, the frequency of a man's heartbeat is 1.25 times per second.
The time period is given as the inverse of frequency, that is,

Two people can hear the sound of each other on the moon's surface.
Report Question

True
0%
False
Explanation
Sound needs something to travel through to get from one place to another. On the Moon, since there is no air, sound cannot travel above the surface. So, there are no sounds on the surface of the Moon.
The Moon has no air because its gravity is too weak to hold an atmosphere. The gravity on the Moon is about six times less than the gravity on Earth, so any gases on the Moon (except for the very heaviest) would eventually float away into space.
Hence, the no sound can be heard on the moon's surface.

Explanation
Sound waves need to travel through a medium such as a solid, liquid, or gas. The sound waves move through each of these mediums by vibrating the molecules in the matter. The molecules in solids are packed very tightly. Liquids are not packed as tightly as solids. And gases are very loosely packed. The spacing of the molecules enables sound to travel much faster through a solid than a gas. Sound travels about four times faster and farther in water than it does in air.
Sound waves are travelling vibrations of particles in media such as air, water or metal. So it stands to reason that they cannot travel through empty space, where there are no atoms or molecules to vibrate.
Hence,
Sound cannot travel through vacuum, but it requires a medium.

Explanation
Frequency is the speed of the vibration, and this determines the pitch of the sound. It is only useful or meaningful for musical sounds, where there is a strongly regular waveform. In other words, frequency is the number of cycles per second in a particular wave pattern.
In the question, figure II has the least number of cycles, and hence, it has a low frequency or a base note.

Explanation
Quality is used to describe the quality of the waveform as it appears to the listener. Therefore the quality of a note depends upon the waveform. Two notes of the same pitch and loudness, played from different instruments do not sound the same because the waveforms are different and therefore differ in quality or tone.
The same note from different instruments has different qualities because the sounds from instruments are never pure notes, i.e. of one frequency,
the only exception being a tuning fork.

Explanation
Sound needs a material medium for their propagation like solid, liquid or gas to travel because the molecules of solid, liquid and gases carry sound waves from one point to another. Sound cannot progress through the vacuum because the vacuum has no molecules which can vibrate and carry the sound waves.

Explanation
One complete cycle consists of one crest and one trough.
The given source produces 40 crests and 40 troughs, hence it produces 40 wave cycles in the given interval 0.4 seconds.
Therefore, number of wave cycles produced in 1 second

We know that the number of wave cycles produced in one second is equal to the frequency.
Hence, the frequency of the wave is 100 Hz.

Explanation
The frequency (f) of a wave is the number of full wave forms generated per second. This is the same as the number of repetitions per second or the number of oscillations per second.
Time Period (T) is the number of seconds per waveform, or the number of seconds per oscillation. It is clear that frequency and period are reciprocals.

Explanation
A wave is a disturbance that moves through a medium when the particles of the medium set neighboring particles into motion. Sound is produced due to the vibration of different objects. Sound travels as a longitudinal wave through a material medium.
Sound waves with frequencies below the audible range are termed “infrasonic” and those above the audible range are termed “ultrasonic”.

Explanation
Frequency is the number of complete vibrational cycles of a medium per a given amount of time. The frequency would have units of cycles per second, waves per second or vibrations per second. The unit for frequency is the Hertz (abbreviated Hz) where 1 Hz is equivalent to 1 cycle per second.
In the question it is mentioned that
10 full ripples per second are produced.
Hence, the frequency is 10 Hz.
