If the student hears a sound at 25 dB, what is the intensity of the sound?Numeric : A numeric value is expected and not an expression.I = __________________________________________
An echocardiogram can measure the Doppler shift of the sound reflected from flowing
blood. A sound wave of 5 MHz is used to image the heart and a shift of 100 Hz is detected
from a region of flowing blood. What is the blood's speed? [Note: The speed of sound in heart
tissue is about 1500 m/s.]
*Clarification: The frequency is shifting up. That is, the new fewquency is (5MHZ + 100 Hz).
