Chapter 17: Q99P (page 512)

You are standing at a distance D from an isotropic point source of sound. You walk50.0m toward the source and observe that the intensity of the sound has doubled. Calculate the distanceD.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The distance Dis 171鈥尘.

Step by step solution

01

The given data

The value of the distance is 171鈥尘.

02

Determine the concept of the intensity

Using the proportionality between the intensity of sound and distance, we can find the distance D.

Formula:

The intensity of the sound wave is inversely proportional to the square of distance or separation, I伪1r2 (i)

03

Calculate the distance

As given above we can say that

The distance betweenandis. Initially, the observer is at point D and then moves towardsthesource by 50.0m to reach at point d. At point d,the intensity of sound gets doubled.

So, we can write, the intensity and distance relation using equation (i) as:

Ir=dIr=D鈭�d=(D鈭�d)2D2=12

Solve by the quadratic formula:

D鈭�dD=12D=d1鈭�12D=170.77D~171鈥尘

Hence, the value of distance, D is 171鈥尘.

At a distance of 10鈥塳尘, a100鈥塇锄horn, assumed to be an isotropic point source, is barely audible. At what distance would it begin to cause pain?

An ambulance with a siren emitting a whine at 1600Hzovertakes and passes a cyclist pedaling a bike at 2.44m/s. After being passed, the cyclist hears a frequency of 1590Hz. How fast is the ambulance moving?

Ultrasound, which consists of sound waves with frequencies above the human audible range, can be used to produce an image of the interior of a human body. Moreover, ultrasound can be used to measure the speed of the blood in the body; it does so by comparing the frequency of the ultrasound sent into the body with the frequency of the ultrasound reflected back to the body鈥檚 surface by the blood. As the blood pulses, this detected frequency varies.

Suppose that an ultrasound image of the arm of a patient shows an artery that is angled at胃=20掳to the ultrasound鈥檚 line of travel (Fig. 17-47). Suppose also that the frequency of the ultrasound reflected by the blood in the artery is increased by a maximum of5495鈥塇锄from the original ultrasound frequency of5.000000鈥塎贬锄

(a) In Fig. 17-47, is the direction of the blood flow rightward or leftward?

(b) The speed of sound in the human arm is1540鈥尘/s. What is the maximum speed of the blood?

(c) If angleuwere greater, would the reflected frequency be greater or less?

Figure shows two isotropic point sources of sound S1 and S2The sources emit waves in phase at wavelength 0.50m; they are separated byD=1.75m . If we move a sound detector along a large circle centered at the midpoint between the sources, at how many points do waves arrive at the detector(a) Exactly in phase and (b) Exactly out of phase ?

Approximately a third of people with normal hearing have ears that continuously emit a low-intensity sound outward through the ear canal. A person with such spontaneous to acoustic emission is rarely aware of the sound, except perhaps in a noise free environment, but occasionally the emission is loud enough to be heard by someone else nearby. In one observation, the sound wave had a frequency of 1665Hzand a pressure amplitude of1665Hz. What were (a) the displacement amplitude and (b) the intensity of the wave emitted by the ear?
