Question

21 of 35 Review A friend of yours is loudly singing a single note at 401 HzHz while racing toward you at 23.0 m/sm/s on a day when the speed of sound is 343 m/sm/s . Part A What frequency do you hear

Answer 1

Answer:

The frequency of the sound note as heard = 429 Hz

Explanation:

The frequency of sound waves as heard from a distance for a sound wave coming towards one at v₀ m/s and whose real frequency is f₀ is given by

+f = f₀/[1 - (v₀/v)]

+f = frequency of sound as heard from the distance away = ?

f₀ = real frequency of sound = 401 Hz

v₀ = velocity at which the sound source is moving towards the reference point = 23.0 m/s

v = velocity of sound waves = 343 m/s

+f = 401/[1 - (23/343)]

+f = 429 Hz
