A handclap on stage in an amphitheater sends out sound waves that scatter from terraces of width w 0.879 m (see the figure). The sound returns to the stage as a periodic series of pulses, one from each terrace; the parade of pulses sounds like a played note. (a) Assuming that all the rays in the figure below are horizontal, find the frequency at which the pulses return (that is, the frequency of the perceived note). (b) If the width w of the terraces were smaller, would the frequency be higher or lower? (Note: Assume the speed of sound in air = 343 m/s.) Тегrace (a) Number i Units (Б)

As a target is changing the angle from the view of a radar its velocity is observed as decreasing but its range is increasing and it follows sinusoidal(1+sinθ). Calculate the doppler phase shift of a varying range of a target that increase by a change in angle from 00 upto 900, for every 150 . If the initial range from the target is 100mt, and the frequency is 2GHz.Prepare a table of range and phase values for all of them in an order from 00 upto 900, with a change of 150. Then plot the graph between angle, Change in range and phase shift.
