Chapter 16: Q. 43 (page 452)

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?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The bat should fly at the speed of86m/s away from you.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The frequency of bat chirps is f0=25kHz=25000Hz

A bat must fly away from you so that the chirp frequency observed by you is less than 25 kHz, that is, f-=20kHz=20000Hz.

Speed of sound in air isv=343m/s.

02

Speed of bat

Doppler effect for receding source is given byf-=f01+vsv.

Substitute the given values

20000=250001+vs343vs343=1.25-1vs=0.25脳343鈮�86m/s

Therefore, the bat should fly at the speed of 86m/saway from you.

One way to monitor global warming is to measure the average

temperature of the ocean. Researchers are doing this by measuring the time it takes sound pulses to travel underwater over large distances. At a depth of 1000 m, where ocean temperatures hold steady near 4C, the average sound speed is 1480 m/s. It鈥檚 known from laboratory measurements that the sound speed increases 4.0 m/s for every 1.0C increase in temperature. In one experiment, where sounds generated near California are detected in the South Pacific, the sound waves travel 8000 km. If the smallest time change that can be reliably detected is 1.0 s, what is the smallest change in average temperature that can be measured?

A spherical wave with a wavelength of 2.0 m is emitted from the origin. At one instant of time, the phase at r = 4.0 m is p rad. At that instant, what is the phase at r = 3.5 m and at r = 4.5 m?

A loudspeaker on a tall pole broadcasts sound waves equally in all directions. What is the speaker鈥檚 power output if the sound intensity level is 90 dB at a distance of 20 m?

A wave pulse travels along a stretched string at a speed of 200 cm/s. What will be the speed if:

a. The string鈥檚 tension is doubled?

b. The string鈥檚 mass is quadrupled (but its length is unchanged)?

c. The string鈥檚 length is quadrupled (but its mass is unchanged)?

Note: Each part is independent and refers to changes made to the original string
