Detailed Solution

Given,

Frequency of sound, f = 50 Hz 

Total time, t = 1 min = 60 s

Frequency is defined as the number of oscillations per second.

f =nt

From this we get,

Number of oscillations, n = f ×t

Substituting the values,

n =50 × 60 = 3000 times

Hence, the source vibrates 3000 times in a minute, producing a frequency of 50 Hz .
