If a sound with frequency f, is produced by a source traveling along a line with speed v, and an observer is traveling with speed v, along the same line from the opposite direction toward the source, then the frequency of the sound hear by the observer is fo = (c + V₂) rs where c is the speed of sound, about 332 m/s. (This is the Doppler effect.) Suppose that, at a particular moment, you are in a train traveling at 37 m/s and accelerating at 1.7 m/s2. A train is approaching you from the opposite direction on the other track at 43 m/s, accelerating at 1.8 m/s2, and sounds its whistle, which has a frequency of 435 Hz. At that instant, what is the perceived frequency that you hear? (Round your answer to one decimal place.) Hz How fast is it changing? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) Hz/s

Police radar determines the speed of motor vehicles using the same Doppler-shift technique employed for ultrasound in medical diagnostics. Beats are produced by mixing the double Doppler-shifted echo with the original frequency. If 1.25 × 109 Hz microwaves are used and a beat frequency of 163 Hz is produced, what is the speed of the vehicle in m/s? (Assume the same Doppler-shift formulas are valid with the speed of sound replaced by the speed of light.)
A supersonic jet traveling at Mach 2.80 at an altitude of h = 19,000 m is directly over a person at time t = 0 as shown in the figure below. Assume the average speed of sound in air is 335 m/s over the path of the sound. Observer hears Observer the "boom" (a) At what time will the person encounter the shock wave due to the sound emitted at t = 0? (b) Where will the plane be when this shock wave is heard? (Give the plane's horizontal displaement x.) km Need Help? Read It Master It
Is this statement correct: "When part of sound traveled through water, wavelength and speed of sound would change because since the particles are closer together in water than in air, the speed of sound would increase, which in turn would decrease the wavelength according to the following formula: wavelength = v/f."
Suppose that you are watching a train go by (as in, move away from you). The train horn’s natural frequency is 175 Hz. The train is moving at 35 m/s. What frequency do you observe from your reference frame? Assume the speed of sound is 340 m/s
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)
Police radar determines the speed of motor vehicles using the same Doppler-shift technique employed for ultrasound in medical diagnostics. Beats are produced by mixing the double Doppler-shifted echo with theoriginal frequency. If 150× 109 Hz microwaves are used and a beat frequency of 150 Hz is produced, what is the speed of the vehicle? (Assume the same Dopplershift formulas are valid with the speed of sound replaced by the speed of light.)
1. In still air, with a speed of sound, v= 343.0m/s, a source of sound A is moving directly toward a reflecting surface B. Reflecting surface B is moving directly away from source A. The speed of A is v, =162 km / h and the speed of B is VR = 86.4 km / h. Sound source A emits waves of frequency f, =1200.0 Hz in the frame of A. а.

What is the frequency of the reflected wave as heard by a detector mounted on and moving with sound source A, JAd ?
Two cars X and Y are approaching each other with velocities 36 km/h and 72 km/h respectively. The frequency of a whistle sound as emitted by a passenger in car X, heard by the passenger in car Y is 1320 Hz. If the velocity of sound in air is 340 m/s, the actual frequency of the whistle sound produced is ........ Hz.
As you zip through space in your PPS (personal propulsion suit), your pulse rate as you count it is 119 bpm (beats per minute). This high pulse rate serves as objective evidence of your excitement. However, an observer on the Moon, an expert in pulse rate telemetry, measures your pulse rate as slower. In fact, she detects only 0.547 times the rate you count and claims that you must be pretty calm in spite of everything that is going on. How fast are you moving with respect to the Moon?
A police car is traveling due east at a speed of 15.0 m/s relative to the earth. You are in a convertible following behind the police car. Your car is also moving due east at 15.0 m/s relative to the earth, so the speed of the police car relative to you is zero. The siren of the police car is emitting sound of frequency 500 Hz. The speed of sound in the still air is 340 m/s. (a) What is the speed of the sound waves relative to you? (b) What is the wavelength of the sound waves at your location? (c) What frequency do you detect?
A train, standing in a station-yard, blows a whistle of frequency 1200 Hz in still air. The wind starts blowing in the direction from the yard to the station with a speed of 30 m/s. What are the frequency, wavelength, and speed of sound for an observer standing on the station’s platform? Is the situation exactly identical to the case when the air is still and the observer runs towards the yard at a speed of 30 m/s? The speed of sound in still air can be taken as 1020 m/s.
A sound of frequency 1060 Hz is heard by an observer moving away with a speed of 8.10 m/s. Find the frequency of the source if it was stationary. (Take speed of sound to be 343 m/s)
