What frequency is received by a person watching an oncoming ambulance moving at 110 km/h and emitting a steady 800-Hz sound from

its siren? The speed of sound on this day is 345 m/s.

To develop this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Doppler effect. The frequency of sound perceive by observer changes from source emitting the sound. The frequency received by observer f_{obs} is more than the frequency emitted by the source. The expression to find the frequency received by the person is,

f_{obs} = f_s (\frac{v_w}{v_w-v_s})

f_s= Frequency of the source

v_w= Speed of sound

v_s= Speed of source

The velocity of the ambulance is

v_s = 119km/h (\frac{1000m}{1km})(\frac{1h}{3600s})

v_s = 30.55m/s

Replacing at the expression to frequency of observer we have,

f_{obs} = 800Hz(\frac{345m/s}{345m/s-30.55m/s})

f_{obs} = 878Hz

Therefore the frequency receive by observer is 878Hz

A wave is moving at the rate of 40 cm/s. Its wavelength is 8 cm. What is the frequency of the wave?
IgorC [24]
Speed = frequency times wavelength.
40=8xf
f = 5 Hz or cycles per second.

Explain why liquids solidify when they are cooled.
Setler [38]
Because the molecules that move freely begin to compact closer together, with less heat, means less molecular activity.
