The car in the figure is moving to the left at 35 m/s. The car's horn continuously emits a `2.20 xx 10^2` Hz sound. The figure also shows the first two regions of compression of the emitted sound waves. The speed of sound is 343 m/s.

What is the wavelength of the sound in the direction of motion of the car?

A

1.40 m

B

1.70 m

C

1.56 m

D

1.93 m

The car in the figure is moving to the left at 35 m/s. The car's horn continuously emits a 2.20 xx 10^2 Hz sound. The figure also shows the first two regions of compression of the emitted sound waves. The speed of sound is 343 m/s. How far has the initial compression traveled when the second compression is emitted?

Sound travels with a speed of about 330 m/s. What is the wavelength of sound whose frequency is 660Hz.

A car moving at 35 m/s approaches a stationary whistle that emits a 220 Hz sound. The speed of sound is 343 m/s. What is the speed of the sound relative to the driver of the car?

A fire whistle emits a tone of 170 Hz. Take the speed of sound in air to be 340 m/s. The wavelength of this sound is about

The frequency of the sound emitted by the loudspeaker is 1020 Hz. Calculate the wavelength of the sound wave in air in cm where its velocity is 340 m/s.

A source of sound produces waves of wavelength 60 cm when it is stationary if the speed of sound in air is 320(m)/(s) and source moves with speed 20(m)/(s) , the wavelength of sound in the forward direction will be nearest to
