A car’s horn has a frequency of 1000 Hz. An observer hears the
Brut [27]

Answer:

31.4 m/s

Explanation:

The Doppler equation describes how sound frequency depends on relative velocities:

fr = fs (c + vr)/(c + vs),

where fr is the frequency heard by the receiver,

fs is the frequency emitted at the source,

c is the speed of sound,

vr is the velocity of the receiver,

and vs is the velocity of the source.

Note: vr is positive if the receiver is moving towards the source, negative if away.

Conversely, vs is positive if the receiver is moving away from the source, and negative if towards.

Given:

fs = 1000 Hz

fr = 1100 Hz

c = 345 m/s

vr = 0 m/s

Find: vs

1100 = 1000 (345 + 0) / (345 + vs)

vs = -31.4

The speed of the car is 31.4 m/s.

2. What value did you calculate for the index of refraction of the acrylic block in Part 2? How does your value compare to the a
lesya [120]

The percentage error in calculated value of the refractive index of acrylic block is calculated using the formula: (true value - calculated value/true value) × 100%.

<h3>What is refractive index of a refracting medium?</h3>

The refractive index of a medium is the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence on the medium and the sine of the angle of refraction.

  • Refractive index = sin i/sin r

where;

  • i is the angle of incidence
  • r is angle of refraction.

The refractive index of a medium increases with density of the medium.

To determine the percentage error in determining the refractive index of a medium, the following formula is used:

  • Percent error = error/true value × 100%

Therefore, the percentage error in calculated value of the refractive index of acrylic block is the ratio of the error and true value multiplied by 100%.
