Multiple ChoiceA police siren emits a sound somewhere around 700 Hz. If you are waiting at a red light, and a police car approaches you from behind and passes you, moving at a constant 30 m/s, what is the frequency you hear from the siren as it approaches you from behind? What about once it's passed you? Assume the air temperature to be 20°C.2333views1comments
Multiple ChoiceA police radar gun used to measure the speed of cars emits an electromagnetic wave (a radio wave) with a frequency of 24 GHz. In an area where the speed limit is 30 m/s, what should be the shift in the frequency of the wave after reflecting off traffic that is exactly following the speed limit, driving toward the police officer?826views

Textbook QuestionAn avant-garde composer wants to use the Doppler effect in his new opera. As the soprano sings, he wants a large bat to fly toward her from the back of the stage. The bat will be outfitted with a microphone to pick up the singer's voice and a loudspeaker to rebroadcast the sound toward the audience. The composer wants the sound the audience hears from the bat to be, in musical terms, one half-step higher in frequency than the note they are hearing from the singer. Two notes a half-step apart have a frequency ratio of 2¹/² = 1.059. With what speed must the bat fly toward the singer?432views
Textbook QuestionA bat locates insects by emitting ultrasonic 'chirps' 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?473views

Textbook QuestionBIO Ultrasound has many medical applications, one of which is to monitor fetal heartbeats by reflecting ultrasound off a fetus in the womb. a. Consider an object moving at speed vo toward an at-rest source that is emitting sound waves of frequency f0 . Show that the reflected wave (i.e., the echo) that returns to the source has a Doppler-shifted frequency fecho = (v+v0 / v-vo) fo where v is the speed of sound in the medium.258views
