Answer:

The frequency heard by the motorist is 4313.2 Hz.

Explanation:

let f1 be the frequency emited by the police car and f2 be the frequency heard by the motorist, let v1 be the speed of the police car and v2 be the speed of the motorist and v = 343 m/s be the speed of sound.

because the police car is moving towards the motorist at a higher speed, then the motorist will hear a increasing frequency and according to Dopper effect, that frequency is given by:

f1 =  [(v + v2/(v - v1))]×(f2)

   = [( 343 + 30)/(343 - 36)]×(3550)

   = 4313.2 Hz

Therefore, the frequency heard by the motorist is 4313.2 Hz.

Answer:

Sound quality depends on a lot of factors, and it is impossible to definitively state that either analog or digital is fundamentally better. These days, many records are made using playback of a digital file, so vinyl preference cannot be attributed solely to the differences in the way the sound wave is reproduced.

Energy is inversely proportional to the wavelength of a wave. Which would have the GREATEST energy? A wave with a
Ivan

Answer:

A 5

Explanation:

The wave with the least amount of wavelength will have the greatest amount of energy.

Wavelength and energy shares an inverse relationship;

       E  = h f  = \frac{hc}{wavelength}

From this equation, we see that the higher the energy of a wave, the lesser its wavelength.

  • Choice A from the options has the least wavelength.
  • Wavelength is the distance between two successive crests of a wave.

This is why we see that in the electromagnetic spectrum, radio waves have the least energy because they have the longest wavelength.
