Chapter 2: Q19DQ (page 538)

Can you think of circumstances in which a Doppler effect would be observed for surface waves in water? For elastic waves propagating in a body of water deep below the surface? If so, describe the circumstances and explain your reasoning. If not, explain why not

Short Answer

Expert verified

The velocity of the source of light can be calculated by taking the difference between the frequency from each side of the star. In this way, the velocity of rotation of the star can be easily calculated.

Step by step solution

01

Concept of the Doppler effect

A Doppler effect is seen in sound as well as in light. So, during the rotation of the stars one part of the star moves towards the observer and another part of the star moves away from the observer. Thus, the light which is moving away from the observer has a lower frequency and the light which is moving toward the observer has a higher frequency. The light with a lower frequency is known as 鈥淩ed Shifted鈥� because it has a high wavelength which makes it look red.

The velocity of the source of light can be calculated by taking the difference between the frequency from each side of the star. In this way, the velocity of rotation of the star can be easily calculated.

Two loudspeakers, A and B, are driven by the same amplifier and emit sinusoidal waves in phase. Speaker B is 12.0 m to the right of speaker A. The frequency of the waves emitted by each speaker is 688 Hz. You are standing between the speakers, along the line connecting them, and are at a point of constructive interference. How far must you walk toward speaker B to move to a point of destructive interference?

The Sacramento City Council adopted a law to reduce the allowed sound intensity level of the much-despised leaf blowers from their current level of about 95 dB to 70 db. With the new law, what is the ratio of the new allowed intensity to the previously allowed intensity?

The motors that drive airplane propellers are, in some cases, tuned by using beats. The whirring motor produces a sound wave having the same frequency as the propeller. (a) If one single-bladed propeller is turning at 575rpm and you hear 2Hz beats when you run the second propeller, what are the two possible frequencies (in rpm) of the second propeller? (b) Suppose you increase the speed of the second propeller slightly and find that the beat frequency changes to 2.1Hz. In part (a), which of the two answers was the correct one for the frequency of the second single-bladed propeller? How do you know?

The longest pipe found in most medium-size pipe organs is 4.88 m (16 ft) long. What is the frequency of the note corresponding to the fundamental mode if the pipe is (a) open at both ends, (b) open at one end and closed at the other?

A large church has part of the organ in the front of the church and part in the back. A person walking rapidly down the aisle while both segments are playing at once reports that the two segments sound out of tune. Why?
