The siren on an ambulance is emitting a sound whose frequency is 2450 Hz. The speed of sound is 343 m/s. If the ambulance is sta

tionary and you (the "observer") are sitting in a parked car, what are the wavelength and the frequency of the sound you hear?

Answer:

The wavelength is 0.14 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Frequency = 2450 Hz

Speed of sound = 343 m/s

We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of wavelength

v=  f\lambda

Where, v = speed of sound

f = frequency

Put the value into the formula

\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}

\lambda=\dfrac{343}{2450}

\lambda=0.14\ m

Hence,  The wavelength is 0.14 m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Frequency of the siren, f = 2450 Hz

The speed of sound, v = 343 m/s

Here, both ambulance and the observer is stationary. The observed frequency is calculated using Doppler's effect as :

f'=\dfrac{v+v_o}{v-v_s}\times f

v_o is the velocity of observer

v_s is the velocity of source

v is the speed of sound wave

Here, v_o=v_s=0

So, f' = f

f' = 2450 Hz

Wavelength, \lambda'=\dfrac{v}{f'}

\lambda'=\dfrac{343\ m/s}{2450\ Hz}

\lambda'=0.14\ m

So, the frequency and wavelength of the observed sound is 2450 Hz and 0.14 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

How are the climates of coastal regions affected by the specific heat capacity of water?
Katen [24]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity can be defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 unit of mass by 1 unit temperature. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.186 joule/gram °C which is higher than common substances. The land has lower specific heat capacity. Thus, the land gets hot quickly than water.

This results in warming up air near the land which creates a difference in pressure across the coastal region. Sea breeze blows from sea towards landmass. Opposite happens at night, when water is still warm and land gets cooled down quickly. Then land breeze blows  from landmass towards the sea. This breeze maintains a moderate temperature and windy and humid weather in the coastal regions.
