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 vib…

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 th…

Chapter 17, Problem 103P

A police car is chasing a speeding Porsche 911. Assume that the Porsche’s maximum speed is 80.0 m/s and the police car’s is 54.0 m/s. At the moment both cars reach their maximum speed, what frequency will the Porsche driver hear if the frequency of the police car’s siren is 440 Hz? Take the speed of sound in air to be 340 m/s.

Students have asked these similar questions

You are driving down the highway at a speed of 45 m/s when you hear the sound of a police siren that is 200 m behind you. The frequency you hear is 450 Hz. You know, however, that the actual frequency of a police siren is 425 Hz. What is the speed of the police car? Assume the speed of sound is 343 m/s.

The driver of a car traveling 27.0 m/s sounds his horn as he approaches an intersection. If the horn has a frequency of 680 Hz, what frequency does a pedestrian hear, if she is at rest at the intersection's crosswalk? Assume a sound speed of 343 m/s.
