- You and your friend decided to test out the Doppler Effect. Your friend is in their car, driving towards you at 4.2 m/s, playing a 400 Hz test tone. You are moving towards your friend at 0.5 m/s. At what frequency do you hear this test tone? Assume the speed of sound is 340 m/s. (Recall that we set the POSITIVE x-direction as the direction from the observer to the source)arrow_forwardThere is a tube of length 1.0 m with one end closed. You clapped your hand at the mouth of the tube once. The echo of the clap came back after 6.0 milliseconds. What is the velocity of sound in the tube ? 330 m/s O 320 m/s 290 m/s O 170 m/sarrow_forwardAM radio signals are broadcast at frequencies between 550 kHz (kilohertz) and 1600 kHz and travel at 3 x 10^8 m/s. a) What is the range of wavelengths for those signals? b) FM frequencies range between 88 MHz (megahertz) and 108 MHz and travel at the the same speed. What is the range of the FM frequencies.arrow_forward

What frequency does the observer hear? 698 Hz O 757 Hz 735 Hz 750 Hzarrow_forwardA bat, moving at 3 m/s, is chasing a flying insect. If the bat emits a 40-kHz chirp and receives back an echo at 40.7 kHz, at what speed is the insect moving? (Take the speed of sound in air to be v= 343 m/s.) State your answer to the nearest 0.01m/s. NOTE: Sign of your answer matters! Both of the speeds (insect's and bat's ) are measured with respect to the stagnant air.arrow_forwardA) a guitar player sounds C above middle C (522 Hz) while traveling in a convertible at 35m/s. If the car is coming toward you, what frequency would you hear? Use 343 m/s as the speed of sound. B) repeat the problem above, but with the car moving away from you. What frequency would you hear?arrow_forward
