You are walking along a small country road one foggy morning and come to an intersection. While you are crossing, you hear an ambulance siren. As a paramedic, you know that the siren sounds at a frequency of 9.07 kHz. But, as an amateur musician with perfect pitch, you can tell that the frequency you are hearing is actually 8.35 kHz. Is the ambulance moving toward or away from you? away toward At what speed is the ambulance traveling? speed: 63.8 Incorrect mph

A sound wave arriving at your ear is transferred to the fluid in the cochlea. If the intensity in the fluid is 0.410 times that in air and the frequency is the same as for the wave in air, what will be the ratio of the pressure amplitude of the wave in air to that in the fluid? Approximate the fluid as having the same values of density and speed of sound as water. Speed of sound in dry air (20.0°C, 1.00 atm) is 343 m/s, density of dry air (at STP) is 1.29 kg/m3, density of water is 1000 kg/m3, and speed of sound in water is 1493 m/s.
You're using an ultrasonic sensor in the deep depths of the ocean to identify shipwrecks. However, you first need to calibrate your sensor for these conditions, as the speed of sound is unknown in the cold, high pressure conditions you are working in. You set up an experiment in a lab where you recreate the environmental conditions of the deep ocean and place an object 30 m from an ultrasonic sensor. The total travel time of the ultrasonic wave is 33 ms (milliseconds). What is the speed of sound in these conditions?
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.
An ambulance with a siren emitting a frequency of 1600HZ overtakes and passes a cyclist pedaling a bike at 4 m/s. After being passed, the cyclist hears a frequency of 1590HZ. How fast is the ambulance moving? Temperature of air is 25°C. 2.
An ultrasound unit is being used to measure a patient’s heartbeat by combining the emitted 2.0 MHz signal with the sound waves reflected from the moving tissue of one point on the heart. The beat frequency between the two signals has a maximum value of 520 Hz. What is the maximum speed of the heart tissue?
Two motors sitting near each other in a factory at slightly different rates. One runs at 805.0 rpm and the other at 775.0 rpm. You hear the combined sound intensity from the motors increase and then decrease periodically due to wave interference. What is the period of beats in seconds?
It's Christmas time and you blast your Christmas music with the windows down in your car. Your grinchy roommate hears your music 30 meters away. The final note in the song is a B, playing at 493 Hz, but your roommate smiles because to him it sounds like a B-flat, playing at 440 Hz. How fast are you driving relative to your roommate? And in what direction?
You are driving along a highway at 35.0 m/s when you hear the siren of a police car approaching you from behind and you perceive the frequency as 1370 Hz. You are relieved that he is in pursuit of a different speeder when he continues past you, but now you perceive the frequency as 1330 Hz. What is the speed of the police car? The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.
A Girl Scout is taking a 12.00-km hike to earn a merit badge. While on the hike, she sees a cliff some distance away. She wishes to estimate the time required to walk to the cliff. She knows that the speed of sound is approximately 343 meters per second. She yells and finds that the echo returns after approximately 2.2 seconds. If she can hike 1.00 km in 7.3 minutes, how long would it take her to reach the cliff? At minutes
The pan flute is a musical instrument consisting of a number of closed-end tubes of different lengths. When the musician blows over the open ends, each tube plays a different note. The longest pipe is 0.33 m long. What is the frequency of the note it plays?
A cable with a linear density of u = 0.210 kg/m is hung from telephone poles. The tension in the cable is 550.00 N. The distance between poles is 24 meters. The wind blows across the line, çausing the cable resonate. A standing waves pattern is produced that has 3.0 wavelengthš between the two poles. The air temperature is T'= 24°C. What are the frequency and wavelength of the hum? A =
A physics professor demonstrates the Doppler effect by tying a 450 HzHz sound generator to a 1.0-mm-long rope and whirling it around her head in a horizontal circle at 100 rpm. What is the difference between the highest frequency heard by a student in the classroom and the initial frequency of the sound generator?
