- Expectant parents are thrilled to hear their unborn baby's heartbeat, revealed by an ultrasonic motion detector. Suppose the fetus's ventricular wall moves in simple harmonic motion with amplitude 2.00 mm and frequency 124 beats per minute. The motion detector in contact with the mother's abdomen produces sound at precisely 2 MHz, which travels through tissue at 1.50 km/s. (a) Find the maximum linear speed of the heart wall. m/s(b) Find the maximum frequency at which sound arrives at the wall of the baby's heart. (Enter your answer to at least six significant figures.)
