Chapter 2: Q57E (page 541)

A jet plane flies overhead at Mach 1.70 and at a constant altitude of 1250 m. (a) What is the angle 蟽of the shock-wave cone? (b) How much time after the plane passes directly overhead do you hear the sonic boom? Neglect the variation of the speed of sound with altitude.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) Angle of the shock-wave cone is 伪=36.03c

b) Time taken is 2.94s

Step by step solution

01

Step 1:

Given data:

The shock wave is produced by a sound source that moves faster than sound

sin伪=vvS

Here,

v鈫�speed of sound

vs鈫�speed of source

localid="1664344351725" 伪鈫�angle of shock wave

02

Step 2:

a) As the Mach number =vSv=1.7

sim=vvS=11.7伪=sin-111.7=36.03o

Hence, the angle of the shock-wave cone is伪=36.03掳

03

Step 3:

b) Time-taken is

罢补苍伪=tan36.03掳=dvSt=0.727

On putting the values;

t=dvs脳0.727=1250m0.727脳1.7脳344m/s=2.94s

Hence, the time taken is 2.94s

A railroad train is traveling at 30.0 m/s in still air. The frequency of the note emitted by the train whistle is 352 Hz. What frequency is heard by a passenger on a train moving in the opposite direction to the first at 18.0 m/s and (a) approaching the first and (b) receding from the first?

A railroad train is traveling at 25m/s in still air. The frequency of the note emitted by the locomotive whistle is 400Hz. What is the wavelength of the sound waves (a) in front of the locomotive and (b) behind the locomotive? What is the frequency of the sound heard by a stationary listener (c) in front of the locomotive and (d) behind the locomotive?

Is it possible to have a longitudinal wave on a stretched string? Why or why not? Is it possible to have a transverse wave on a steel rod? Again, why or why not? If your answer is yes in either case, explain how you would create such a wave.

15.4. BIO Ultrasound Imaging. Sound having frequencies above the range of human hearing (about 20,000 Hz) is called ultrasound. Waves above this frequency can be used to penetrate the body and to produce images by reflecting from surfaces. In a typical ultrasound scan, the waves travel through body tissue with a speed of 1500 m/s . For a good, detailed image, the wavelength should be no more than 1.0 mm. What frequency sound is required for a good scan?

At point A, 3.0 m from a small source of sound that is emitting uniformly in all directions, the sound intensity level is 53 db. (a) What is the intensity of the sound at A? (b) How far from the source must you go so that the intensity is one-fourth of what it was at A? (c) How far must you go so that the sound intensity level is one-fourth of what it was at A? (d) Does intensity obey the inverse-square law? What about sound intensity level?
