Time for Sound to Travel

Easy Physics Waves And Sound

The speed of sound in air is approximately 343 meters per second at room temperature. Sound waves are mechanical waves that propagate through a medium as a result of particle vibrations.

Consider a scenario where a 1000 Hz sound wave is emitted from a stationary source. An observer is located 500 meters away from the source. How long will it take for the sound wave to reach the observer?
