Question
You have to use the equations v = f? T = 1/f
The highest-pitched sound that a human ear can detect is about 21 kHz. On the other hand, dolphins can hear ultrasound with frequencies up to 280 kHz. What is the speed of sound in water if the wavelength of ultrasound with a frequency of 2.80 x 105 Hz is 0.510 cm? How long would it take this sound wave to travel to a dolphin 3.00 km away?

- If the speed of sound is 312.7 m/s and the wavelength of the sound is 1.99 cm, what is the frequency in kHz? Give your answer with two digits of precision. Your Answer: Answer +arrow_forwardOne of the largest organ pipes is in the auditorium organ in the convention hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The pipe is 38.6 ft long and produces a sound with a wavelength of about 10.6 m. If the speed of sound in air is 346 m/s, what is the frequency of this sound?arrow_forwardOn December 26, 2004, a great earthquake occurred off the coast of Sumatra and triggered immense waves (tsunami) that killed some 200000 people. Satellites observing these waves from space measured 800 km from one wave crest to the next and a period between waves of 1.0 hour. The speed of the waves were 800 km/h. How does the speed of the wave help you understand why the waves caused such devastation?arrow_forward
- Use the following information for determining sound intensity. The number of decibels ß of a sound with an intensity of I watts per square meter is given by B = 10 log(I/I0), where Io is an intensity of 10-12 watt per square meter, corresponding roughly to the faintest sound that can be heard by the human ear. Find the number of decibels ß of the sound. (a) I = 102 watt per m2 (jet at 30 meters) dB (b) I = 10-2 watt per m2 (siren at 30 meters) dB (c) I = 10-10 watt per m2 (quiet room) dB (d) I = 100 watt per m2 (threshold of pain) dBarrow_forwardA sound wave in a solid has a frequency of 12.0 kHz and a wavelength of 0.333 m.

The engineers know that landing site A is much hotter than landing site B. Unfortunately, the only working sensors on Tango and Foxtrot measure the speed of sound. If Tango measures the speed of sound at it's landing site as 240 m/s, while Foxtrot measures speed of sound as 258 m/s at it's landing site, where has each rover landed?arrow_forwardAn organ pipe that is 1.75 m long and open at both ends produces sound of frequency 303 Hz when resonating in its second overtone.
