A commuter train passes a passenger platform at a constant speed of 40.0 m/s. The train horn is sounded at its characteristic fr

equency of 320 Hz.
(a) What overall change in requency is detected by a person on the platform as the train moves from approaching to receding?
(b) What wavelength is detected by a person on the platform as the train approaches?

Answer:

a) -75 Hz

b) 0.11 m^{-1}

Explanation:

a) Let us first find the frequency detected by the person on the platform.

We have to find the frequency observed by the person when the train was approaching and when the train was receding.

When the train was approaching:

f_o = \frac{v}{v - v_s} f_s

where fo = frequency observed

fs = frequency from the source = 320 Hz

v = speed of sound = 343 m/s

vs = speed of the train = 40 m/s

Therefore:

f_o = \frac{343}{343 - 40}  * 320\\\\f_o = \frac{343}{303} * 320\\\\f_o = 362 Hz

The person on the platform heard the sound at a frequency of 362 Hz when the train was approaching.

When the train was receding:

f_o = \frac{v}{v + v_s} f_s

f_o = \frac{343}{343 + 40}  * 320\\\\f_o = \frac{343}{383} * 320\\\\f_o = 287 Hz

The person on the platform heard the sound at a frequency of 287 Hz when the train was receding.

Therefore, the frequency change is given as:

Δf = 287 - 362 = -75 Hz

b) We can find the wavelength detected by the person on the platform as the train approaches by using the formula for speed:

v = \lambda f

where λ = wavelength

f = frequency of the train as it approaches = 362 Hz

v = speed of train = 40 m/s

Therefore, the wavelength detected is:

40 = λ * 362

λ = 40 / 362 = 0.11 m^{-1}

How do the current and coltage readings compare to before the wires were switched. Explain how to interpret them physically?
Blababa [14]
  • The potential difference between two locations in an electric circuit is measured using a voltmeter.
  • If the electricity passes through the voltmeter it shows deflection.

<h3>What is the purpose of a voltmeter?</h3>
  • A voltage meter, usually referred to as a voltmeter, is a device that measures the voltage, or potential difference, between two points in an electrical or electronic circuit.
  • volts is the unit of voltmeter(volts, millivolts, kilovolts)

<h3>What is the explanation for the link between current and voltage?</h3>
  • Ohm's law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it, provided all physical conditions and temperatures remain constant.

<h3>What is ohm's law in circuit?</h3>
  • V = IR, where V is voltage, I is current, and R is resistance, is known as Ohm's Law.
  • If you know the voltage of the battery in the circuit and how much resistance is in the circuit, you may use Ohm's Law to identify properties of a circuit, such as how much current is flowing through it.
