A main stands on the ground at a fixed distance from a siren which emits sound of fixed amplitude. The man hears the sound to be on a clear night than on a clear day.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The intensity of sound at a given at a given point is the energy per second received by a unit by a unit area perpendicular to the direction of propagation.
`I = (1)/(2) rhoVomega^(2) A^(2)`
Also in tensity varies as distance from the point source as
I prop (1)/( r^(2)`

A sound producing body is at considerable distance from a man. There can be four different medium W,X,Y and Z between the sound producing body and the man. The medium X brings the sound to man most quickly whereas medium Z takes the maximum time. The time taken by medium W in bringing sound to man is less than that of X but more than that of Z. The medium Y, however, fails to bring the sound from the sound producing body to the man. Which medium could be the one: (a) having no fixed shape and no fixed volume? (b) having a fixed volume but no fixed shape? (c) having the same composition as that on the moon? (d) having a fixed shape and a fixed volume?

A siren is fitted on as car going towards a vertical wall at a speed of 36 km/h. A person standing on the ground, behind the car, listens to the siren sound coming directly from the source as well as that coming after refelction from the siren to the person and b. coming after reflection. Take the speed of sound to be 340ms^-1

A man is swimming at a depth d in a sea at a distance L (gt gt d) from a ship (S). An explosion occurs in the ship and after hearing the sound the man immediately moves to the surface. It takes 0.8 s for the man to rise to the surface after he hears the sound of explosion. 0.2 s after reaching the surface he once again hears a sound of explosion. Calculate L. Give: speed of sound in air =340 ms^(-1) , Bulk modulus of water =2xx10^(9) Pa
