- Submarine A travels horizontally at 11.0 m/s through ocean water. It emits a sonar signal of frequency f = 5.27 103 Hz in the forward direction. Submarine B is in front of submarine A and traveling at 3.00 m/s relative to the water in the same direction as submarine A.

A sound technician uses a whistle and generates sound waves with a frequency of 242 Hz. The waves travel in opposite directions in a band room, are reflected by end walls, and return. The band room is 44.0 m long and the whistle is located 14.0 m from one end. What is the phase difference (in degrees) between the reflected waves when they meet at the source of the sound? The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.arrow_forwardThe Doppler effect can be used to measure flow rates in blood.
