Submarine A is chasing submarine B at a depth of 250 m. Submarine A is travelling at a speed of 10 while submarine B is travelling faster at a speed of 12". Submarine B sends out a sonar ping at 1 kHz. Assume that the speed of sound at this depth is 1200. a) What frequency of sound hits submarine A? (Answer:982 Hz) b) What would the frequency be if submarine B was moving at double its speed? (Answer:972 Hz)

Two eagles fly directly toward one another, the first at 15.0 m/s and the second at 18.7 m/s. Both screech, the first emitting a frequency of 3643 Hz and the other one of 3800 Hz. What frequencies do they receive if the speed of sound is 330 m/s? (Enter your answers to at least the nearest 10 Hz.)
A bystander hears a siren vary in frequency from 590 Hz to 368 Hz as a fire truck approaches, passes by, and moves away on a straight street. What is the speed of the truck? (Take the speed of sound in air to be 343 m/s.)
You've entered the Great Space Race. Your engines are hearty enough to keep you in second place. While racing, the person in front of you begins to have engine troubles and turns on his emergency lights that emit at a frequency of 5.640 x 1014 Hz. If the person in front of you is traveling 2627 km/s faster than you when he turns on his lights, what is the frequency of the emergency lights that you observe when it reaches you in your spaceship? (Enter your answer to four significant figures.) 4.0 Hz Additional Materials
If a stationary dolphin emits a call at a sound frequency of 53 kHz. The sound wave reflects off a fish moving directly towards the dolphin. And the sound wave echo returns at a frequency of 55 kHz. What is the speed of the fish? The speed of sound is 343 m/s.
A bat at rest sends out ultrasonic sound waves at 54.0 kHz and receives them returned from an object moving directly away from it at 33.0 m/s . What is the received sound frequency?
The speed of sound waves in air is 340 m/s, and the speed of light is 3 X 108 m/s. Consider a sound wave and light both of frequency 20 000 Hz. Which has the longer wavelength?
A bystander hears a siren vary in frequency from 584 Hz to 370 Hz as a fire truck approaches, passes by, and movesaway on a straight street. What is the speed of the truck? (Take the speed of sound in air to be 343 m/s.)
There was an accident and NASA engineers are trying to sort out where two of their Mars Rovers (named 'Tango' and 'Foxtrot') have landed. 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 its landing site as 240 m/s, while Foxtrot measures speed of sound as 258 m/s at its landing site, where has each rover landed? Tango landed at site A while Foxtrot landed at site B. Tango landed at site B while Foxtrot landed at site A. Both Tango and Foxtrot landed at site A. O Both Tango and Foxtrot landed at site B.
A stationary police car emits a frequency of 520 Hz. A motorcyclist moving away from the car perceives a frequency of 490 Hz. How fast was the motorcyclist moving to perceive this frequency? Consider the speed of the sound 344m/s
A motorcyclist is moving 24.5 m/s toward a stationary siren, and hears an 894 Hz sound. What is the frequency of the siren when the cyclist is stationary? (Hint: 894 Hz is the Doppler-shifted frequency.) (Speed of sound = 343 m/s) (Unit = Hz)
An alert physics student stands beside the tracks as a train rolls slowly past. He notes that the frequency of the train whistle is 489 Hz when the train is approaching him and 468 Hz when the train is receding from him. Using these frequencies, he calculates the speed of the train. What value does he find? (Assume the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.) m/s Need Help? Read It
