What is the speed of sound in air (a) on a cold winter day in Minnesota when the temperature is 鈥25掳F, and (b) on a hot summer day in Death Valley when the temperature is 125掳F?
A water wave is a shallow-water wave if the water depth d is less than 鈮 l/10. It is shown in hydrodynamics that the speed of a shallow-water wave is v = 1gd, so waves slow down as they move into shallower water. Ocean waves, with wavelengths of typically 100 m, are shallow-water waves when the water depth is less than 鈮 10 m. Consider a beach where the depth increases linearly with distance from the shore until reaching a depth of 5.0 m at a distance of 100 m. How long does it take a wave to move the last 100 m to the shore? Assume that the waves are so small that they don鈥檛 break before reaching the shore
Is the displacement ,
where x is in m and t is in s, a possible traveling wave? If so, what
is the wave speed?
A sound wave with intensity 2.0 * 10-3 W/m2 is perceived to be modestly loud. Your eardrum is 6.0 mm in diameter. How much energy will be transferred to your eardrum while listening to this sound for 1.0 min?
A bat locates insects by emitting ultrasonic 鈥渃hirps鈥 and then listening for echoes from the bugs. Suppose a bat chirp has a frequency of 25 kHz. How fast would the bat have to fly, and in what direction, for you to just barely be able to hear the chirp at 20 kHz?
