Question: A person on a railroad car blows a trumpet note at 440Hz. The car is moving toward a wall at20.0ms. Find the sound frequency (a)at the wall and (b) reflected back to the trumpeter.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  • a) The sound frequency at the wall is 467Hz
  • b) The sound frequency reflected back to the trumpeter is 494Hz

Step by step solution

01

Write the given data

  • i)The frequency of a trumpet isf=440Hz
  • ii) The speed of the car isVS=20.0ms. .
02

Determine the concept of the Doppler Effect

Use the principle of the Doppler Effect and its corresponding equations.

Formula:

The frequency received by the observer or the source according to Doppler’s Effect, (when detector at rest and source is approaching detector)

f'=f×VV-VS (i)

(Consider source at rest and detector is approaching source)

f'=f×V+VDV (ii)

03

Calculate the sound frequency at the wall

Here, the wall is the detector and the car is the source of sound.

Consider the equation of Doppler Effect for stationary detector and moving source using equation (i) as:
f'=440×343343-20.0=467Hz

Hence, the value of the sound frequency is 467 Hz.

04

b) Determine reflected frequency back to the trumpeter

Here, the reflected wave fromthewall is a source and the trumpeter in the car isthedetector.

Consider equation (ii) of Doppler Effect for stationary source and moving detector as:

f'=467×343-(-20)343=494Hz

Hence, the value of the reflected frequency is 494Hz.

In figure, sound with a 4.40 cm wavelength travels rightward from a source and through a tube that consists of a straight portion and half-circle. Part of the sound wave travels through the half-circle and then rejoins the rest of the wave, which goes directly through the straight portion. This rejoining results in interference. What is the smallest radius rthat result in an intensity minimum at the detector?
