Question
A bat traveling at a speed of 18.1 m/s sends out sound at a frequency of 48.2 kHz, can 'see' objects due to echolocation. What frequency would the bat hear returning from a stationary wall in front of it? (assume the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s)

- (a) What frequency is received by a person watching an oncoming ambulance moving at 120 km/h and emitting a steady 853 Hz sound from its siren? The speed of sound on this day is 345 m/s. Hz (b) What frequency does she receive after the ambulance has passed? Hzarrow_forwardA bystander hears a siren vary in frequency from 590 Hz to 368 Hz as a fire truck approaches, passes by, and moves away on a straight street. What is the speed of the truck? (Take the speed of sound in air to be 343 m/s.)arrow_forwardBats of the Vespertilionidae family detect the distance to an object by timing how long it takes for an emitted signal to reflect off the object and return. Typically they emit sound pulses 3.00 ms long and 70.0 ms apart while cruising. If an echo is heard 32.8 ms later (vsound = 331 m/s), how far away is the object? When an object is only 39.2 cm away, how long will it be before the echo is heard? When an object is only 39.2 cm away, the bat __________ able to detect the echo.arrow_forward
- (a) What frequency is received by a person watching an oncoming ambulance moving at 115 km/h and emitting a steady 833 Hz sound from its siren? The speed of sound on this day is 345 m/s.(b) What frequency does she receive after the ambulance has passed?arrow_forwardAn ultrasound unit is being used to measure a patient’s heartbeat by combining the emitted 2.0 MHz signal with the sound waves reflected from the moving tissue of one point on the heart. The beat frequency between the two signals has a maximum value of 520 Hz. What is the maximum speed of the heart tissue?arrow_forwardAnswer Pleasearrow_forward
- A sound source with a frequency of 1800 Hz is moved 24 m/s away from a reflecting wall that also moves away from the source at 26 m/s. If the speed of sound is 343 m/s determine the frequency that the source of the reflected wave detects.arrow_forwardA sound source moves through air toward a stationary observer. The frequency of the sound the observer hears is 20% higher than the source frequency. How fast is the observer moving?arrow_forwardFrom a vantage point very close to the track at a stock car race, you hear the sound emitted by a moving car. You detect a frequency that is 0.855 times smaller than that emitted by the car when it is stationary. The speed of sound is 343 m/s. What is the speed of the car?arrow_forward
- A convertible moves toward you and then passes you; all the while, its loudspeakers are producing a sound. The speed of the car is a constant 13.5 m/s, and the speed of sound is 344 m/s. What is the ratio of the frequency you hear while the car is approaching to the frequency you hear while the car is moving away?arrow_forward(a) What frequency is received by a person watching an oncoming ambulance moving at 105 km/h and emitting a steady 753 Hz sound from its siren? The speed of sound on this day is 345 m/s. Hz(b) What frequency does she receive after the ambulance has passed? Hzarrow_forwardFor years, marine scientists were mystified by sound waves detected by underwater microphones in the Pacific Ocean. These so-called T-waves were among the purest sounds in nature. Eventually they traced the source to underwater volcanoes, whose rising columns of bubbles resonated like organ pipes. What is the wavelength of a typical T-wave whose frequency is 7 Hz?
