A physics professor demonstrates the Doppler effect by tying a 600 Hz sound generator to a 1.0-m-long rope and whirling it around her head in a horizontal circle at 100 rpm. What are the highest and lowest frequencies heard by a student in the classroom?
One physics professor talking produces a sound intensity level of 52 dB. It’s a frightening idea, but what would be the sound intensity level of 100 physics professors talking simultaneously?
A loudspeaker on a tall pole broadcasts sound waves equally in all directions. What is the speaker’s power output if the sound intensity level is 90 dB at a distance of 20 m?
A wave travels with speed 200 m/s. Its wave number is 1.5 rad/m. What are its (a) wavelength and (b) frequency?
