  1. Speed and Doppler effect Questions

  2. Q1 • You are in an auto traveling at 25.0 m/s towards a pole mounted warning siren. If the siren’s frequency is 365 Hz, what frequency do you hear? The temp of air is 20⁰C

  3. Q2 • You are in a car traveling 24.6 m/s. A second car is moving towards you at the same speed. Its horn is sounding at 475 Hz. What frequency do you hear? Use 15⁰C as the te3mperature of air

  4. Q3 • A submarine is moving towards another sub at 9.2 m/s. It emits a 3.5 MHz ultrasound. (1 MegaHz = 1,000,000 Hz) • What frequency would the second sub, at rest, detect? The speed of sound in water is 1482.

  5. Q4 • A sound source plays middle C (262 Hz). How Fast would a source have to go to raise the pitch to C sharp (271 Hz)? The detector remains stationary. Use 25⁰C as temperature of air

  6. Q5 • Find the wavelength in air of 20⁰C of an 18 Hz sound wave.

  7. Q6 • If you shout across a canyon and hear the echo 0.80 s later, how wide is the canyon?

  8. Q7 • A 2280 Hz sound wave has a wavelength of 0.655 m in an unknown medium. Based on its speed, predict the type of medium it is passing through.
