A sound wave consists of

A sound wave travels at a speed of 340 m/s. If its wavelength is 2 cm, what is the frequency of the wave ? Will it be in the audible range ?

Let vv_s be the speed of the source emitting waves, n the actual frequency of the source of sound, v the speed of the sound in the medium and n' the frequency of sound waves as percevied by a stationary observer to whom the source of sound is approaching. The formula to calculate for n' is

If n_(1) and n_(2) are the frequencies of sound waves producing beats then the time interval between one maxima and next minima is

(A): When an observer moves towards a stationary source, the frequency of sound heard is greater than the actual frequency (R) : Apparent frequency increases because the observer intercepts more number of waves when he moves towards the source.

A rocket is moving at a speed of 200 ms^(-1) towards a stationary target. While moving , it emits a wave of frequency 1000 Hz.Some of the sound reaching the target gets reflected back to the rocket as an echo.Calculate (1) the frequency of the sound as detected by the target and (2) the frequency of the echo as detected by the rocket.

(A) : The wave length of sound waves increa ses when they are refracted from air into water (R): Velocity of sound is greater in water than in air
