- A sound wave in a solid has a frequency of 45.0 kHz and a wavelength of 0.333 m. What would be the wave speed, and how much faster is this speed than the speed of sound in air? (The speed of sound in air is 344 m/s.) speed of sound in solid speed of sound in solid speed of sound in airarrow_forwardA bat can detect small objects, such as an insect, whose size is approximately equal to one wavelength of the sound the bat makes. If bats emit a chirp at a frequency of 51.0 kHz, and if the speed of sound in air is 340 m/s, what is the smallest insect a bat can detect?mmarrow_forwardGoing down the road at 65 miles per hour on a 86.0 °F summer day, Bari heard a siren approaching. Bari knows that a police siren's frequency is 1280.0 Hz, but it didn't sound like that. Bari pulled over a lane, without slowing down, after seeing the flashing lights of the police car coming up from behind, and the police passed going 25 miles per hour faster than Bari was going. (1 mile = 1.60 km) a) what was the speed of sound on that warm summer day? b) How fast, in m/s, was the police car going? c) What frequency did Bari hear from the siren before the police car passed? d) What frequency did Bari hear from the siren after the police care had passed?arrow_forward
- A pipe with one closed end vibrates with standing waves at the second harmonic. It produces a C- note that has a frequency of 264 Hz. How long is the pipe? The speed of sound in air is 340 m/s. 0.97 m 1.29 m 1.61 m 0.32 marrow_forwardThe pan flute is a musical instrument consisting of a number of closed-end tubes of different lengths. When the musician blows over the open ends, each tube plays a different note. The longest pipe is 0.33 m long. What is the frequency of the note it plays?arrow_forwardSound 1 has an intensity of 36.0 W/m2. Sound 2 has an intensity level that is 2.3 dB greater than the intensity level of sound 1. What is the intensity of sound 2?arrow_forward
- A source of sound changes, so that it outputs half of its original power. If the distance between you and the source didn't change, by what factor does the sound intensity you experience change?arrow_forwardA 460-Hz sound travels through pure neon. The wavelength of the sound is measured to be 0.95 m. What is the speed of sound in neon? ____________ m/sarrow_forwardTwo people are moving in opposite directions relative to each other. One person is playing a trumpet with a frequency of 403 Hz. If the person with the trumpet has a speed of 33.4, moving away from the other person, what must the speed of the other person be if they are to perceive the trumpet sound as having a frequency of 361 Hz? Your answer here can be positive or negative depending on relative motion towards or away. Assume that it is 20 °C. Towards = + Away = -arrow_forward

The siren emits a fixed frequency of 440Hz. Each of the following cars is traveling down the road as described. Rank the cars according to the frequency the driver will hear. 1. A car driving East at a speed of 40m/s. The car is in front of the ambulance. 2. A car driving East at a speed of 50m/s. The car is ahead of the ambulance.arrow_forwardA red train is stationary and a green train is moving forward away from the red train at a speed of 28 m/s. Between the trains, is a bicyclist moving towards the stationary red train at a speed of 15.3 m/s. each train has a whistle with a frequency of 349 Hz. the air temperature is 2 degrees celsius. What are the frequencies of the whistles heard by the bicyclist, coming from the green and red trains? PLEASE INCLUDE UNITS AND ROUND TO 4TH DECIMALS PLACE.arrow_forward
