II- Solve the following problems
7. What is the wavelength of a 6.00102-Hz sound wave in air at 20C?
8. A 171.5-Hz sound wave has a wavelength of 2 m in an unknown medium. Identify the medium.
9. The frequency of a certain police cars siren is 1550 Hz when at rest. What frequency do you
detect if you move with a speed of 30.0 m/s?
a) Toward the car,
fd=fs(1-vd/v)
fd=1550(1-30/343)fd=-131.0hz
B) Away from the car?
fd=fs(1-vd/v)
fd=1550(1--30/343)
fd=140.0hz
10. A bird is flying directly toward a stationary bird-watcher and emits a frequency of 1250 Hz.
The bird-watcher, however, hears a frequency of 1290 Hz. What is the speed of the bird?
fd=fs(1-vd/v)
1290=1250(1-vd/343)
1250/1290=1250(1-vd/343)/ 1250
343x1.032=1-vd/343x343
353.976=1-vd
vd=-352.976m/s
11. You hear the siren of a fire engine as you stand on the side of the road. As it approaches, the
siren which broadcasts at a frequency of 645 Hz is heard by you as being 660 Hz. How fast is the
fire engine traveling? The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.
645/660=645(1/1-vs/343)/645
343x1x1.023=1/1-vs/343x343x1
1x351=1/-vsx1
343=6.00102xL
L=5716.66m
171.5x2=343m/s>air at 20
331+(0.6x20)=343

III Answer the following questions:
List two sound characteristics that are affected by the medium through which the sound passes
and two characteristics that are not affected.
The speed of sound and the wavelength of the sound are affected by the medium. Theperiod of the wave and the frequencyof the wave are unaffected.
