m 6. As you do your regular morning walk at1.4 with an average room temperature, you can km hr detect a frequency of 560 Hz from an ambulance travelling with a speed of 31.35 towards you, find for the emitted frequency of the ambulance. 7. You are about to answer the telephone which is 12 meters away from you. If the telephone has a frequency of 300 Hz, what frequency can you detect if you can reach the telephone in 2 mins?
Properties of sound
A sound wave is a mechanical wave (or mechanical vibration) that transit through media such as gas (air), liquid (water), and solid (wood).
Quality Of Sound
A sound or a sound wave is defined as the energy produced due to the vibrations of particles in a medium. When any medium produces a disturbance or vibrations, it causes a movement in the air particles which produces sound waves. Molecules in the air vibrate about a certain average position and create compressions and rarefactions. This is called pitch which is defined as the frequency of sound. The frequency is defined as the number of oscillations in pressure per second.
Categories of Sound Wave
People perceive sound in different ways, like a medico student takes sound as vibration produced by objects reaching the human eardrum. A physicist perceives sound as vibration produced by an object, which produces disturbances in nearby air molecules that travel further. Both of them describe it as vibration generated by an object, the difference is one talks about how it is received and other deals with how it travels and propagates across various mediums.
