A girl is sitting near the open window of a train that is moving at a velocity of 10.00m/sto the east. The girl鈥檚 uncle stands near the tracks and watches the train move away. The locomotive whistle emits sound at frequency 500.0Hz. The air is still. (a) What frequency does the uncle hear? (b) What frequency does the girl hear? A wind begins to blow from the east at 10.00m/s. (c) What frequency does the uncle now hear? (d) What frequency does the girl now hear?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The frequency heard bytheuncle when air is still is 485.8Hz.
  2. The frequency heard bythegirl when air is still is 500Hz.
  3. The frequency heard by the uncle when wind begins to blow from the east at 10.00m/s is 486Hz.
  4. The frequency heard by the girl when wind begins to blow from the east at 10.00m/s is 500Hz.

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  1. Velocity of the train and girl is Vg = Vt = 10.00m/s
  2. Frequency of whistle is f = 500.0Hz
02

Understanding the concept of Doppler’s Effect

We can use the concept of the Doppler Effect. We use the equation of the Doppler Effect to find the frequency heard by the uncle and girl when the air is still. When air is moving, we find the relative speeds of the uncle and the girl with air and using those speeds, we can find the frequencies heard by them.

Formula:

The frequency received by the observer according to Doppler鈥檚 Effect,

f'=(VVlVVs)f 鈥(颈)

03

a) Calculation of the frequency heard by the uncle when air is still

Here the source is moving away from the uncle, so we can write the frequency using equation as:

f'=500Hz343m/s+0343m/s+10m/s=485.6Hz

Hence, the frequency heard by the uncle when air is still is 485.6Hz.

04

b) Calculation of the frequency heard by the girl when air is still

Here the girl is moving withthetrain. Hence, the relative speed ofthegirl with respect tothetrain is zero, so she will hear the same frequency. The girl will hear the frequency:

f'=f=500.0Hz

Hence, the frequency heard by the girl is 500.0Hz

05

c) Calculation of the frequency heard by the uncle when wind begins to blow from the east at 10.00m/s

Here, the speed of the train relative to air is Vt = 20m/s and the relative speed of the uncle with air is Vu = 10m/s so we can write the frequency using equation (i) as:

f'=500Hz343m/s+10m/s343m/s+20m/s=486Hz

Hence, the frequency heard by the uncle is 486Hz

06

d) Calculation of the frequency heard by the girl when wind begins to blow from the east at 10.00m/s

Here the girl is moving with the train, so the relative speed of girl with respect to air is Vg = 20m/s, and the speed of the train with air is also Vt = 20m/s Hence there is no relative motion between the girl andthe train, so the girl will hear the frequency:

f'=f=500.0Hz

Hence, the frequency heard by the girl is 500.0Hz.

A detector initially moves at constant velocity directly toward a stationary sound source and then (after passing it) directly from it. The emitted frequency is f. During the approach the detected frequency isfapp' and during the recession it isfrec' . If the frequencies are related by (fapp'frec')/f=0.500, what is the ratio vD/vof the speed of the detector to the speed of sound?

Question: Hot chocolate effectTap a metal spoon inside a mug of water and note the frequency fiyou hear. Then add a spoonful of powder (say, chocolate mix or instant coffee) and tap again as you stir the powder. The frequency you hear has a lower value fsbecause the tiny air bubbles released by the powder change the water鈥檚 bulk modulus. As the bubbles reach the water surface and disappear, the frequency gradually shifts back to its initial value. During the effect, the bubbles don鈥檛 appreciably change the water鈥檚 density or volume of dV/dp- that is , the differential change in volume due to the differential change in the pressure caused by the sound wave in the water . Iffs/fi=0.333, what is the ratiodVdps/dVdpi?

A violin string 30.0cmlong with linear density 0.650g/mis placed near a loudspeaker that is fed by an audio oscillator of variable frequency. It is found that the string is set into oscillation only at the frequencies 880Hzand 1320Hzas the frequency of the oscillator is varied over the range 500-1500Hz. What is the tension in the string?

Question: A handclap on stage in an amphitheater sends out sound waves that scatters from terraces of width W 0.75 mfigure. The sound returns to the stage as a periodic series of pulses, one from each terrace; the parade of pulses sounds like a played note (a)Assuming that all the rays in figure are horizontal , find the frequency at which the pulses return(that is ,the frequency of the perceived note .(b)If the widthof the terraces were smaller would the frequency be higher or lower?

In Fig. 17-46, sound of wavelength 0.850鈥尘is emitted isotropically by point source S. Sound ray 1 extends directly to detector D, at distance L=10.0鈥尘. Sound ray 2 extends to Dvia a reflection (effectively, a 鈥渂ouncing鈥) of the sound at a flat surface. That reflection occurs on a perpendicular bisector to the SDline,at distance dfrom the line. Assume that the reflection shifts the sound wave by0.500. For what least value of d(other than zero) do the direct sound and the reflected sound arrive at D(a) exactly out of phase and (b) exactly in phase?
