To measure her speed, a skydiver carries a buzzer emitting a steady tone at 1 800 Hz. A friend on the ground at the landing site directly below listens to the amplified sound he receives. Assume the air is calm and the speed of sound is independent of altitude. While the skydiver is falling at terminal speed, her friend on the ground receives waves of frequency 2 216 Hz. (Use 343 m/s as the speed of sound.)

(a) What is the skydiver's speed of descent?
m/s

(b) Suppose the skydiver can hear the sound of the buzzer reflected from the ground. What frequency does she receive?
Hz

Two test pilots are in identical jets that produce a characteristic tone of 587 Hz. One jet is stationary on the airstrip and the second is approaching the airstrip at a speed of 72.6% the speed of sound. Take the speed of sound in air to be 343 m/s. The pilot of each jet listens to the sound produced by the other jet. Determine the following. (a) Which pilot hears a greater Doppler shift? the stationary pilot the moving pilot...

Speaker A is sounding a single tone in phase with speaker B (see figure below). The two speakers are separated by 8 m. What intensity level will you hear if you are located 6 m in front of speaker A and the frequency of the tone is 1372 Hz? Assume that the 40-W speakers can be approximated as point sources and the speed of sound is 343 m/s. _________dB

1. A spectator at a parade receives an 907 Hz tone from an oncoming trumpeter who is playing an 877 Hz note. At what speed is the musician approaching if the speed of sound is 345 m/s? 2. If a wind instrument, such as a tuba, has a fundamental frequency of 34.6 Hz, what is its fifth overtone? It is closed at one end and the speed of sound is 331 m/s. 3.

Your idiot friend won’t calm down. So the police officer fires her revolver in the air to get his attention. Then she blows over the top of the gun barrel to dispel the smoke coming from it. When she does this, you distinctly hear the fundamental mode of the gun barrel resonate at 1.352 kHz (you really have amazing hearing, by the way). (a) If we treat the gun barrel as a cylinder which is open at one end and...

A flutist assembles her flute in a room where the speed of sound is 342 m/s . When she plays the note A, it is in perfect tune with a 440 Hz tuning fork. After a few minutes, the air inside her flute has warmed to where the speed of sound is 343 m/s . You may assume in this problem that the construction of a flute makes it behave like a pipe which is open on both ends. How...
