Female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes emit a buzz at about 4.00102 Hz, whereas male A. aegypti mosquitoes typically emit a buzz at about 6.00102 Hz. As a female mosquito is approaching a stationary male mosquito, is it possible that he mistakes the female for a male because of the Doppler shift of the sound she emits? How fast would the female have to be traveling relative to the male for him to make this mistake? Assume the speed of sound in the air is 343 m/s.
You are in auto traveling at 44 m/s toward a pole-mounted warning siren. If the siren's frequency is 431 Hz, what frequency do you hear? Use 343 m/s as the speed of sound. No need to include the unit. Write your answer in whole numbers.
If a stationary dolphin emits a call at a sound frequency of 53 kHz. The sound wave reflects off a fish moving directly towards the dolphin. And the sound wave echo returns at a frequency of 55 kHz. What is the speed of the fish? The speed of sound is 343 m/s.
A creature can detect very small objects, such as an insect whose length is approximately equal to one wavelength of the sound the bat makes. If a bat emits chirps at a frequency of 65 kHz, and if the speed of sound in air is 340 m/s, what is the Cmallest insect (in mm) the bat can detect?
The frequency of the siren of an ambulance is 900 Hz and is approaching you. You are standing on a corner and observe a frequency of 960 Hz. What is the speed of the ambulance (in mph) if the speed of sound is v = 340.00 m/s?
Donny and Shaojia are driving along a highway at 30.0 m/s when they hear the siren of a police car approaching them from behind. Donovan perceives the frequency as 1,365 Hz. The police car continues past them, but now Shaojia and Donovan perceive the frequency as 1,302 Hz. What is the speed of the police car in meters per second? The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s. Please give your answer with one decimal place.
A bat emits a sound at a frequency of 39.0 kHz as it approaches a wall. The bat detects beats with a frequancy of 1070 Hz between the sound it emits and the echo bouncing from the wall. What is the speed of the bat (in m/s) if the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s?
A bat uses echolocation to detect prey as small as about 1 wavelength of the sound of a bat call. Assume a bat produces a sound with a frequency of 60.9 kHz, and the speed of sound in air is 339 m/s. What is the length in mm of the smallest prey the bat can detect?
A truck travels southbound on a highway at a speed of 14 m/s. A police car, traveling northbound at a speed of 39 m/s. When the truck approaches the car its siren produces sound at a frequency of 849Hz . What frequency does the driver observe as the truck approaches ?
From 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 0.851 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?
A motorcyclist is moving 24.5 m/s toward a stationary siren, and hears an 894 Hz sound. What is the frequency of the siren when the cyclist is stationary? (Hint: 894 Hz is the Doppler-shifted frequency.) (Speed of sound = 343 m/s) (Unit = Hz)
A car is moving at 110 miles per hour passes a stationary police car whose siren has a frequency of 500 Hz. What is the frequency change heard by an observer in the moving car as he passes the police car? The velocity of sound in air is 343m/s.(1 mile = 1.609km) .Give your answer in units of Hz.
