A police car is at rest parallel to the highway and measures the speed of cars. It sends the signal with a frequency of 1200 Hz,

it bounces off the moving car (it is traveling toward or away from the signal emitted) and the radar gun measures the frequency of the signal received. For one car suspected of speeding the received frequency was 1100 Hz. The speed of sound is approximately 350 m/s (note our radar gun uses sound waves rather than electromagnetic waves)
a. How fast was the car moving?
b. Was it moving towards or away from the police car?
c. The police car follows it by moving towards the suspicious car with the speed Upolice-50m/s. What is the frequency the radar gun is measuring now?

Answer:

a) The car was moving at a speed of 29.167\ m.s^{-1}

b) The negative sign of v_o denotes that the observer is coming towards the police car which is the source of the sound.

c) f_o=1283.33\ Hz

Explanation:

Given:

  • original frequency of the source, f=1200\ Hz
  • speed of the source, v_s=0\ m.s^{-1}
  • velocity of the obstacle car be, v_o
  • speed of sound, s=350\ m.s^{-1}
  • observed frequency, f_o=1100\ Hz

<u>Using the equation from the Doppler's effect:</u>

\frac{f_o}{f} =\frac{(s+v_o)}{(s-v_s)}

\frac{1100}{1200} =\frac{(350+v_o)}{350-0}

v_o=-29.167\ m.s^{-1}

a)

The car was moving at a speed of 29.167\ m.s^{-1}

b)

The negative sign of v_o denotes that the observer is coming towards the police car which is the source of the sound.

c)

Now when, v_s=50\ m.s^{-1}

Then, f_o=?

Using the Doppler's eq.:

\frac{f_o}{1200} =\frac{(350+(-29.167))}{(350-50)}

f_o=1283.33\ Hz

A bat moving at 3.7 m/s is chasing a ying insect. The bat emits a 36 kHz chirp and receives back an echo at 36.79 kHz. At what s
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

The speed the bat is gaining on its prey is 0.03m/s

Explanation:

Given;

speed of the bat, v₀ = 3.7 m/s

frequency of the bat, F₀ = 36 kHz

frequency of the source, Fs = 36.79

This is relative motion between a source of the sound and the observer.  The phenomenon is known as Doppler effect.

Apply the following equation to determine the speed of the insect which is the source;

F_0 = F_s[\frac{v+v_0}{v-v_s} ]\\\\\frac{F_0}{F_s} = [\frac{v+v_0}{v-v_s} ]\\\\\frac{36.79}{36} = \frac{340+3.7}{340-v_s}\\\\1.0219 = \frac{343.7}{340-v_s}\\\\  340-v_s = \frac{343.7}{1.0219}\\\\340-v_s = 336.33\\\\v_s = 340-336.33\\\\v_s = 3.67 \ m/s

The speed the bat is gaining on its prey = 3.7m/s - 3.67m/s = 0.03 m/s

Therefore, the speed the bat is gaining on its prey is 0.03m/s

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

The wavelength is 3500 nm.

Explanation:

d= \frac{1}{700 lines per mm} = 0.007mm = 7000 nm

n= 1

θ= 30°

λ= unknown

Solution:

d sinθ = nλ

λ = \frac{7000 nm sin 30}{1}

λ = 3500 nm
