Question
An ambulance traveling eastbound at 124.0 km/h with sirens blaring at frequency of 6.00 x 102 Hz passes cars traveling in both the eastbound and wesbound directions at 53.0 km/h. (Assume the speed of sound is 345 m/s.)
(a) What is the frequency observed by the eastbound drivers as the ambulance approaches from behind?
(b) What is the frequency observed by the eastbound drivers after the ambulance passes them?
(c) What is the frequency observed by the westbound drivers as the ambulance approaches them?
(d) What is the frequency observed by the westbound drivers after the ambulance passes them?

- While sitting next to a road on a calm, warm 27.9ºC evening, you see an ambulance's lights flashing in the distance coming towards you. You hear a frequency of 140 Hz. However, you know that ambulances have sirens that emit sound at 130 Hz. How fast is the ambulance approaching you, in m/s?arrow_forwardSound waves are emitted isotropically (that is, with equal intensity in all directions) from a source. The intensity of the waves 3.00 m from the sourceis 2.60x10 -4 W/m 2. Assuming the energy of the waves is conserved, what is the power of the source?arrow_forwardOcean waves with a wavelength of 40.0 m travel at 5.00 m/s towards a boat at sea.
