Answer:
The time taken by the sound is [tex]3.82\times 10^{-4}\ s[/tex]
Explanation:
We have,
A low-frequency sound source is placed to the right of a person, whose ears are approximately 13 cm apart, and the speed of sound generated is 340 m/s.
It is required to find the time taken by the sound when the sound arrives at the right ear and the sound arrives at the left ear. Let t is the time taken. It can be calculated as :
[tex]v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{0.13}{340}\\\\t=3.82\times 10^{-4}\ s[/tex]
So, the time taken by the sound is [tex]3.82\times 10^{-4}\ s[/tex]
