The denizens of a distant planet live under an atmosphere made predominately of CO2, which is a dispersive medium. While attending a concert, which of the following would be true for a spectator seated in the back of a large amphitheatre? I. They would hear the low notes and high notes at the same time. II. They would hear the low notes and high notes at different times. III. They would hear nothing because sound can't propagate in CO2.

4. A researcher tested a sonar device designed to work at a maximum depth of 500 m in seawater. The device sends out sound pulses from the bottom of a ship and detects echoes. What is the minimum time between a sound pulse and its echo?
Imagine a ringing bell set inside a sealed glass jar. Once all the air is removed and a vacuum is created, the ringing sound is no longer heard. Explain why this happens. The glass prevents any sound from escaping. The pressure of the outside air causes the sound to remain within the jar. The lack of air in the jar causes the ringing to stop. Without air, the sound waves cannot travel to the ear.
1. Like most dolphins, "Sparky the Wonder Dolphin" uses echolocation (or sonar) by emitting high frequency "clicks" to locate objects in the water around her. Typical frequency of a dolphin's sonar click is 100 kHz, while the typical intensity of a sonar click at a distance of 1 m from a dolphin's head is 200 dB. The speed of sound in sea water is about 1520 m/s. If Sparky emits a sonar click that bounces off a school of tuna 20 km distant, a) how long must she wait to hear the reflected pulse, and b) what is the intensity in dB of the reflected pulse that she hears?
The speed of sound in air is 330 m s-¹ 1. A motorcyclist travelling at a speed of 29 m s-¹ sounds the horn on their motorbike while passing a pedestrian beside the road.

Explain why, when the motorcycle is right in front, the pedestrian hears the same frequency as the rider. D
