A student holds a tuning fork ocillating at 2456 Hz. He walks towards a wall at a constant speed of `1.33(m)/(s)`. (a) What beat frequency does the student observes between the tuning fork and its echo? (b) How fast must he walk away from the wall to observe a beat frequency of `5.00Hz`?

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to calculate the beat frequency observed by the student when he walks towards a wall and then find out how fast he must walk away from the wall to observe a specific beat frequency. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Given Data:** - Frequency of tuning fork, \( f_0 = 2456 \, \text{Hz} \) - Speed of student, \( v_s = 1.33 \, \text{m/s} \) - Speed of sound in air, \( v = 343 \, \text{m/s} \) (approximately at room temperature) ...

A car blowing a horn of frequency 350 Hz is moving normally towards a wall a speed of 5 m/s The beat frequency heard by a person standing between the car and wall is (speed of sound in air =350 m/s )

There is a source of sound (a tuning fork) moving towards a reflecting wall will a speed of 30 ms^(-1) . The velocity of the sound in air is 330 ms^(-1) and the frequency of the tuning fork is 600 Hz. The observer is between the source and the wall and is moving with some velocity V_(1) towards the wall. The beat frequency heard by the observer is 4 Hz. If the tuning fork is waxed, the frequency beats heard by the observer becomes 3 Hz. If the new frequency of tuning fork is k then k//50 is
