Answer

The refracted wave must obey Snell's equation

Ni sin θi = Nr sin θr

If Nr differs from Ni then sin θr  will differ from sin θi

If the wave originates from point A and ends at point B then Snell's Law shows that the time for light to get from point A to point B is a minimum.

Q11:A police car in hot pursuit goes speeding past you. While the siren is approaching, the frequency of the sound you hear is 5
natulia [17]

Answer:

   v_s = 34.269 m / s

Explanation:

This is a Doppler effect exercise, in this case the observer is fixed and the sound source is moving.

         f ’= f  \frac{v}{v  \mp v_s  }

where the negative sign is used for when the source approaches the observer and the positive sign for when the source moves away from the observer

In this case when f ’= 5500 Hz approaches and when f’ = 4500 Hz moves away, let's write the two expressions together

          5500 = f (\frac{v}{v - v_s })

          4500 = f ( \frac{v}{v + vs})

let's solve these two equations

           \frac{5500}{4500}     = \frac{v+v_s}{v-v_s}

           1.222 (v-v_s) = v + v_s

            v_s (1+ 1.22) = v (1.222 -1)

            v_s = v   \frac{0.222}{2.223}

the speed of sound in air is v = 343 m / s

            v_s = 343 0.09990

 

             v_s = 34.269 m / s
