Two swift canaries fly toward each other, each moving at 15.0 m/s relative to the ground, each warbling a note of frequency 1750 Hz. (a) What frequency note does each bird hear from the other one? (b) What wavelength will each canary measure for the note from the other one?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) Frequency isfb=1910Hz

b) Wavelength measured λinfront=0.188m

Step by step solution

01

Step 1:

a) The frequency detected by each bird is;

fb=fsv±vbv+vs

Given data:

Speed of sound in airv=344m/s

Speed of bird that is considered as an observervb=15m/s

Speed of bird that is considered the sourceVs=15m/s

Frequency of sound emitted by birds as a sourcefs=1750Hz

Frequency of sound detected by other bird fb

On putting the values;

fb=(1750Hz)×(344m/s)+(15m/s)(344m/s)-(15m/s)fb=1910Hz

Hence, the frequency is fb=1910Hz

02

Step 2:

b) The wavelength in front either of any of the two birds is expressed as;

λinfront=v-vSfs

On putting the values;

λinfront=344m/s+15m/s1750Hzλinfront=0.188m

Hence, the wavelength measured λinfront=0.188m

Singing in the Shower. A pipe closed at both ends can have standing waves inside of it, but you normally don’t hear them because little of the sound can get out. But you can hear them if you are inside the pipe, such as someone singing in the shower. (a) Show that the wavelengths of standing waves in a pipe of length L that is closed at both ends are λ0=2L/nand the frequencies are given by f0=nv4Lnf1, where n = 1, 2, 3, c.(b) Modelling it as a pipe, find the frequency of fundamental and the first two overtones for a shower 2.50 m tall. Are these frequencies audible?

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?

Stars other than our sun normally appear featureless when viewed through telescopes. Yet astronomers can readily use the light from these stars to determine that they are rotating and even measure the speed of their surface. How do you think they can do this?

Two strings of different mass per unit length μ1and μ2are tied together and stretched with a tension F. A wave travels along the string and passes the discontinuity in μ. Which of the following wave properties will be the same on both sides of the discontinuity, and which will change: speed of the wave; frequency; wavelength? Explain the physical reasoning behind each answer.

A thin, 75.0cm wire has a mass of 16.5g. One end is tied to a nail, and the other end is attached to a screw that can be adjusted to vary the tension in the wire. (a) To what tension (in newtons) must you adjust the screw so that a transverse wave of wavelength 3.33 cm makes 625 vibrations per second? (b) How fast would this wave travel?
