PHXI15:WAVES

354652 An earthquake generates both transverse (\(s\)) and longitudinal (\(p\)) sound waves in the earth. The speed of (\(s\)) waves is about \(4.5\;km/s\) and that of (\(p\)) waves is about \(8.0\;km/s\). A seismograph records \(P\) and \(S\) wave in a gap of 4 minutes. The epicentre of the earthquake is located at a distance of about:

1 \(250\;km\)
2 \(25\;km\)
3 \(5000\;km\)
4 \(2500\;km\)

354653 Assertion :
The error in Newton's formula of velocity of sound in air was \(16 \%\).
Reason :
The experimental value of velocity of sound in air was accurate.

1 Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.
2 Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.
3 Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
4 Assertion is incorrect but reason is correct.

354654 Speed of sound in a solid is directly proportional to (\(Y\) - Young's modulus, \(\rho\) - density)

1 \(\sqrt{Y}\)
2 \(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{\rho}}\)
3 Both (1) and (2)
4 None of the above
