A boat travels at 30 mph for a huge, solid cliff that is about 3,000 meters away. When the horn on the boat makes a toot, you ca

n hear the initial sound directly from the horn and also an echo from the cliff wall some time later. How does the frequency of the echo compare with the frequency of the horn before the ship moved?
Group of answer choices

The frequency of the echo is slightly increased.

The frequency of the echo is slightly decreased.

The frequency is unchanged.

Not enough information to determine.

Answer:The frequency of the echo is slightly decreased

Explanation:

Given

speed of boat =30\ mph

cliff is 3000\ m away

when boat is still , suppose t is the time taken by the echo to reach observer on the boat

But as soon as boat starts moving  the distance between cliff and boat decreasing and time for echo to reach observer also decreases

and we know time \propto \frac{1}{frequency}

therefore frequency of the echo slightly decreased.

If you wanted the pitch of a horn to drop relative to an observer, which way would you move the horn, relative to where that obs
Vladimir [108]
We assume that horn releases sound of constant frequency. In order for observer to observe different frequency either horn or observer or both must move.

This happens due to Doppler effect. It states that when position of source of sound and observer relative to each other changes, the observed frequency also changes. If the source emits sound of constant frequency than observed frequency will be either higher or lower than original.

When distance between source and observer increases the observed frequency will be lower. This is because same number of sound waves must cover greater distance so they have greater wavelength.
When distance between source and observer decreases the observed frequency will be higher. This is because same number of sound waves must cover smaller distance so they have smaller wavelength. 

Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional meaning when one increases the other drecreases.

From this explanation we can find answer for our question. <span>If we wanted the pitch of a horn to drop relative to an observer we need to move horn away from an observer.</span>

Which describes how to generate a real image of an object using a concave mirror?
Naddika [18.5K]

A concave mirror is curved inward in the middle, more like a cave. Because the mirror is curved inward, the angle of the light surface can be focused similar to that of the camera. They can form real images that are projected out in front of the mirror at the place where light focuses. When the object is located at the center of the curvature the image formed will also be at the curvature. The image will be inverted and the magnification value is equal to 1 which will become a real image because the ray of light converges at the location of the formed image.
