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.
Bats sense objects in the dark by echolocation, in which they emit very short pulses of sound and then listen for their echoes off the objects. A bat is flying directly toward a wall 50 m away when it emits a pulse. 0.28 s later it receives the pulse. What is the bat’s speed?

- During a thunderstorm, a frightened child is soothed by learning to estimate the distance to a lightning strike by counting the time between seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder (Fig. P2.25). The speed vs of sound in air depends on the air temperature, but assume the value is 343 m/s. The speed of light c is 3.00 108 m/s. a. A child sees the lightning and then counts to eight slowly before hearing the thunder. Assume the light travel time is negligible. Estimate the distance to the lightning strike. b. Using your estimate in part (a), find the light travel time. Is it fair to neglect the light travel time? c. Think about how time was measured in this problem. Is it fair to neglect the difference between the speed of sound in cold air (vs at 0C = 331.4 m/s) and the speed of sound in very warm air (vs at 40C = 355.4 m/s)?arrow_forwardFemale mosquitoes emit a buzz at 400 Hz, whereas male mosquitoes typically emit a buzz at 600 Hz. As a female mosquito is approaching a stationary male mosquito, calculate how fast would the female have to be traveling relative to the male for him to mistaken the female as male mosquito? Assume the speed of sound in the air is 343 m/s.arrow_forwardAn osprey (a type of hawk) has a distinct call: a whistle at 2100 Hz. An osprey calls while diving at you — you’ve gotten too close to her nest and she wants to drive you away! The frequency you perceive is 2400 Hz. How fast is the osprey approaching? (The speed of sound in air varies with temperature, but in this problem you can take it to be 343 m/s, the speed at 20◦C.)arrow_forward
- A bat flying at 5.05 m/s is chasing an insect flying in the same direction. The bat emits a 39.8-kHz chirp and receives back an echo at 40.6 kHz. (Take the speed of sound in air to be v = 343 m/s.) (a) What is the speed of the insect? m/s(b) Will the bat be able to catch the insect? Yes No Explain.arrow_forwardYou are on a boat in a fog and know there are cliffs ahead of you somewhere, but you cannot see them. You use your fog horn to send out a blast of sound (temperature of air is 32 oC) and the time it takes for the sound to return to you is 20.0 s. How far away are the cliffs?arrow_forwardWhile hunting for moths to eat, a bat emits a chirp that lasts for 2.10 ms and then is silent while it listens for the echo. If the beginning of the echo returns just after the outgoing chirp is finished, how close to the moth is the bat? The bat is flying toward the moth at a speed of 4.40 m/s and the moth is flying away from the bat at 1.20 m/s. Assume it is a cool night with a temperature of 10.0°C. Speed of sound in air at 0°C is 331 m/s (see table 12.1). in cmarrow_forward
