A mirror faces a cliff located some distance away. Mounted on the cliff is a second mirror, directly opposite the first mirror and facing toward it. A gun is fired very close to the first mirror. The speed of sound is 342 m/s. How many times does the flash of the gunshot travel the round-trip distance between the mirrors before the echo of the gunshot is heard? N = i

1. In still air, with a speed of sound, v= 343.0m/s, a source of sound A is moving directly toward a reflecting surface B. Reflecting surface B is moving directly away from source A. The speed of A is v, =162 km / h and the speed of B is VR = 86.4 km / h. Sound source A emits waves of frequency f, =1200.0 Hz in the frame of A. а. What is the frequency heard by a detector mounted on and moving with reflecting surface B, Bd b. What is the frequency of the reflected wave as heard by a detector mounted on and moving with sound source A, JAd ?

While attending a large fireworks event with music, you decide to stay 1 kilometer away because of the crowds. However you have a good view, and you can still hear the booms, as well as the music. Given a speed of sound on a warm moist summer night of 340 m/s, select those that apply. The music is out of phase with the fireworks and occurs about 3 seconds late. The booms are so loud they occur at the same time as the flash of fireworks explosion. The booms follow the flashes you see by about 3 seconds. The music has the wrong pitch with its frequency changed by the time it takes to reach you. The music is out of phase with the fireworks and occurs about 6 seconds early CAN BE MORE THAN ONE ANSWER
