We want to explain why two different observes may measure different frequencies for the same vibrating object.

We will see that the two correct options are:

  • <em>Observer A is stationary and Observer B is moving.</em>
  • <em>Observer A and Observer B are moving at different speeds relative to each other.</em>

<em />

Let's assume that the vibrating object is a guitar string. Thus, the string makes a noise, and from that noise, we can estimate the frequency at which the string vibrates.

Now there appears a really cool effect, called the Doppler Effect. It says that the apparent change of frequency is <u>due to the motion of the observer or the source of the frequency (or both).</u>

For example, if you move towards the vibrating string, the perceived frequency will be larger, and you will hear a "higher" sound.

While if you move away from the string, the opposite happens, and you will hear a "lower" sound.

Then the only thing that impacts in how we perceive the frequency is our velocity relative to the source.

So, why do observers A and B measure different frequencies?

The two correct answers are:

  • <em>Observer A is stationary and Observer B is moving.</em>
  • <em>Observer A and Observer B are moving at different speeds relative to each other.</em>

A wave is traveling through a medium. As it travels, it displaces particles of matter in the same direction as the wave is trave
Alexxandr [17]

<u>Answer</u>

longitudinal wave because the particles move parallel to the direction that the wave is traveling.


<u>Explanation</u>

There are 2 types of a wave, electromagnetic and mechanical wave. These waves can also be categorized into two, longitudinal ans transverse waves.

longitudinal wave is a wave whose particles vibration is in the direction of wave travel.

Transverse wave is a wave whose vibration of particles is perpendicular to the direction of wave travel.

An atom in the ground state has a collision with an electron, then emits a photon with a wavelength of 1240 nm. What conclusion
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

attached below is the free body diagram of the missing  illustration

Initial kinetic energy of the electron = 3 eV

Explanation:

The conclusion that can be drawn about the kinetic energy of the electron is

E_{e} = E_{3}  - E_{1}

E_{e} = initial kinetic energy of the electron

E_{1} = -4 eV

E_{3} = -1 eV

insert the values into the equation above

E_{e} = -1 -(-4)  eV

   = -1 + 4 = 3 eV

A bicycle tire is spinning counterclockwise at 2.70 rad/s. During a time period At 1.90 s, the tire is stopped and spun in the o
Naddik [55]

Answer:

a) -5.40 rad/s

b) -2.842 rad/s²

Explanation:

The direction is important in dealing with such questions. Clockwise is considered negative and counterclockwise is considered positive

a) Δω = final angular velocity - initial angular velocity

          = -2.70 rad/s - 2.70 rad/s

          = -5.40 rad/s

b) ∝ = Δω/Δt = (-5.40 rad/s)/1.90s = -2.842 rad/s²

sophia exerts a steady 40n horizontal force on a 8kg resting on a lab bench. the box slides against a horizontal friction of 24n
astraxan [27]
Force = 40 - 24 = 16N

Force = mass / acceleration

Acceleration = Force / mass

Acceleration = 16 / 8

Acceleration = 2 m/s^2
