Given data
Distance d=200m
Frequency f=20Hz
To determine the delay between subsequent compression pulses from the source and the man
The time period is the duration over which he receives subsequent compression pulses from the source.
As we know the frequency f=1T
So, T=1f
T=120T=0.05s
Hence, the time interval at which successive compressions pulses from the source reach the man is equal to 0.05seconds.
