What is the received sound frequency?arrow_forwardStanding at a crosswalk, you hear a frequency of 570 Hz from the siren of an approaching ambulance. After the ambulance passes, the observed frequency of the siren is 488 Hz. Determine the ambulance's speed from these observations. (Take the speed of sound to be 343 m/s.)arrow_forward
- A stationary police car emits a sound of frequency 1200 HzHz that bounces off of a car on the highway and returns with a frequency of 1260 HzHz. The police car is right next to the highway, so the moving car is traveling directly toward or away from it. What frequency would the police car have received if it had been traveling toward the other car at 23.0 m/sm/s ?arrow_forwardA bystander hears a siren vary in frequency from 584 Hz to 370 Hz as a fire truck approaches, passes by, and movesaway on a straight street. What is the speed of the truck? (Take the speed of sound in air to be 343 m/s.)arrow_forwardA rescue plane is moving to an emergency beacon that has a frequency of 15.2 kHz. The plane is traveling at 140 m/s. (a) What is the wavelength of beacon picked up by the plane? (b) Can the people on the plane hear the beacon? (velocity of sound in air is 343 m/s)arrow_forward

Suppose the device emits sound at 3.5 MHz, and the speed of sound in human tissue is about 1540 m/sWhat is the expected beat frequency if blood is flowing in large leg arteries at 3.0 m/s directly away from the sound source?arrow_forwardA ship mapping the depth of the ocean emits a sound of 37 kHz. The sound travels to the ocean floor and returns 0.65 s later. (a) How deep is the water at that location? (b) What is the wavelength of the wave in water? (c) What is the wavelength of the reflected wave as it travels into the air, where the speed of sound is 350 m/s?arrow_forward
- A bat emits a sound whose frequency is 81.8 kHz. The speed of sound in air at 20.0 oC is 343 m/s. However, the air temperature is 41.8 oC, so the speed of sound is not 343 m/s. Assume that air behaves like an ideal gas, and find the wavelength of the sound.arrow_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_forwardI need help with this questionarrow_forward
