Answer #1

The formula for the apparent frequency when the observer is moving toward source and source is moving the observer is given by,

Given,

Actual frequency,

Speed of sound,

Speed of observer = Speed of source

Hence apparent frequency is

Hence apparent wavelength is

Hence the wavelength of the horn as perceived by the captain of boat A is .487 m.

A rescue plane flies horizontally at a constant speed searching for a disabled boat. When the plane is directly above the boat, the boat's crew blows a loud horn. By the time the plane's sound detector receives the horn's sound, the plane has traveled a distance equal to one-fourth its altitude above the ocean. Assuming it takes the sound 2.16 s to reach the plane, and taking the speed of sound to be 343 m/s, determine the following. (a) the...

A sound wave of frequency f=300Hz produced by a moving source 40m/s is observed by a stationary observer. The speed of sound in ambient air is 345 m/s. As the source moves toward the observer, how far does the source travel between subsequent wave pulses? What is the apparent wavelength of the sound wave as perceived by the observer? What is the frequency of sound perceived by the observer? Note, when the source is in motion, the speed of the...
