A train approaches a platform at a speed of 30 km/h while it blows its whistle. Someone on the platform hears the whistle at 275 Hz. Calculate the actual frequency of the whistle. (speed of sound = 343 m/s)
Standing at a crosswalk, you hear a frequency of 600 Hz from the siren of an approaching ambulance. After the ambulance passes, the observed frequency of the siren is 500 Hz. Determine the ambulance's speed from these observations. (Take the speed of sound to be 343 m/s.)

- Two trumpet players are trying to play 698.5 Hz, but one of them is sharp (her frequency is too high), so that they create a 11.6 Hz beat frequency. What is the frequency of the sharp player's note? (Unit = Hz)arrow_forwardTwo tuning forks are designed to produce sound at the same frequency of 440 Hz. However, due to slight manufacturing defects, the frequency of one is actually 440.5 Hz and the other is 439.5 Hz. When both tuning forks are struck simultaneously, a beat frequency is heard. Calculate the frequency of the beats. If the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s, calculate the wavelength difference between the waves produced by the two tuning forks.arrow_forwardA 2.29-m long organ pipe acts as a closed-end resonator that produces several different harmonic frequencies in the audible range from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz.
