Question
(a) At an air show a jet flies directly toward the stands at a speed of 1200 km/h, emitting a frequency of 3500 Hz, on a day when the speed of sound is 342 m/s. What frequency is received by the observers?
(b) What frequency do they receive as the plane flies directly away from them?

- A commuter train passes a passenger platform at a constant speed of 40.0 m/s. The train horn is sounded at its characteristic frequency of 320. Hz. (a) What overall change in frequency is detected by a person on the platform as the train moves from approaching to receding? (b) What wavelength is detected by a person on the platform as the train approaches?arrow_forwardA train approaches a station platform at a speed of 10 m/s, blowing its whistle at a frequency of 100 Hz, as measured by the engineer. What frequency will be measured by a person on the platform walking in the same direction as the train is moving at 1 m/s? (Assume the velocity of sound is 342 m/s.)arrow_forwardYou hear the sonic boom of a high-speed jet plane exactly 3.80 s after it passes directly overhead in level flight. At the time you hear the boom, you see the plane at an angle of 24.0 o above the horizon. Assume that the speed of sound at the altitude of the plane is 325 m/s. How fast is the plane traveling?What is the altitude of the plane?arrow_forward

- A stationary speed detector emits microwave with frequency 3.0 x 10^10 Hz to detect the speeds of cars on a freeway. If a reflected wave, when combined with the outgoing wave, produces beats at a rate of 5000 S-1. If the speed limit in the highway is 110 km/hr, is the car exceeding speed limit?arrow_forwardProblem #6 You want to buy a lamp, and the store has only lamps of a nominal power of 150 watts. When you were ready to pick up a lamp, you observed that there were two piles one pile were incandescent lamps and the other LED lamps. You remember that in class we discussed about efficacy. Immediately, you find in your phone the following table Flux [lumen] 250 450 800 1100 1600 Power Power Power Power Power [Watt] [Watt] [Watt] [Watt] [Watt] Then you can answer the following questions: Incandescent 25 40 60 75 100 Halogen 18 29 43 53 72 1) incandescent lamp?
