R The figure above shows a transmitter and a receiver of sound waves contained in a single instrument. It is used to measure the speed u of a target object (idealized as a flat plate) that is moving directly toward the unit, by analyzing the waves reflected from the target. Show that the frequency f. of the reflected waves at the receiver is related to their source frequency f, by V + u f, = f, V – u where v is the speed of the waves. In great many practical situations, u << v. In that case, show that the equation above becomes: f,-f, 2u IS %3D V
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.

In medical diagnosis using ultrasound it is said " For every mm
per second that a structure in the body moves, the incident
ultrasound wave is shifted by approximately 1.30 Hz per MHz".
What speed of the ultrasound waves in the tissue do you deduce
from this statement?](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F028c00b4-bd07-42ee-809c-1b3ab083ae21%2Fc88369af-3121-4b20-8f6e-5b0fcf1f8b6d%2Fbf0b8ke_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
