A boat is travelling in a river with a speed `10 m//s` along the stream flowing with a speed `2 m//s` . From this boat , a sound transmitter is lowered into the river throught a rigid support. The wavelength of the sound emitted from the transmitter inside the water is `14.45 mm` . Aassume that attenuation of sound in water and air is neglisible.
(a) What will be the frequency delected by a receiver kept inside the river downstream ?
(b) The transmitter and the reciver are now pulled up into air. The air is blowing with a speed `5 m//s` in the direction opposite the river stream. Determine the frequency of the sound delected by the reciver.
(Temperature of the air and water = `20^(@) C` , Density of river water = `10^(3) kg//m^(3)` , Bulk modulus of the water = `2.088 xx10 ^(9) Pa` , Gas constant, `R= 8.31 J//mol - K` , Mean molecular mass of air = `28.8xx 10 ^(-3) kg//mol` , `C_(p)//C_(V)` for air = `1.4`

Speed of boat`u=10(m)/(s)`
Speed of river stream `w=2(m)/(s)`
Wavelength of sound wave inside water is 14.45mm. Speed of sound inside water is
`v=sqrt((B)/(d))=sqrt({(2.088xx10^9)/(10^3)})`
`=sqrt(2.088)xx10^3(m)/(s)=1445(m)/(s)`
Frequency of wave inside water is
`n=(v)/(lamda)=(1445)/(14.45xx10^(-3))=10^3Hz`
In this case source and medium both are in motion
Apparent frequency is given by
`n'=((v+w))/((v+w)-u)n=((1445+2))/((1445+2)-10)xx10^5`
`=(1447)/(1437)xx10^5Hz=1.00696xx10^5Hz`

A boat is travelling in a river with a speed 10m//s along with stream flowing 2m/s. From this boat, a sound transmitter is lowered into the river through a rigid support. The wavelength of the sound emitted from the transmitter inside the water is 14.45mm . Assume that attenuation of sound in water and air is negligible. (a) What will be the frequency detected by a receiver kept inside the river downstream? (b) The transmitter and the receiver are now pulled up into air. the air is blowing with a speed 5m//s in the direction opposite the river stream. Determine the frequency of the sound detected by the receiver. (Temperature of the air and water = 20^(@)C , Density of river water = 10^(3) kg//m^(3) , Bulk modulus of the water = 2.088 xx 10^(9) Pa, gas constant R = 8.31 J//mol-K , Mean molecular mass of air = 28.8 xx 10^(-3) kg//mol , C_(P)//C_(V) for air = 1.4 )

The wavelength of the sound emitted by a tuning fork in air is 3m. Speeds of sound in air and in water are 330 m/s and 1400 m/s respectively. Wavelength of this sound in water is

The minimum wavelength of sound that is audible to a person is (speed of sound is 340 m/s)

When a sound wave travels from water to air , it

An observer is moving towards a source with speed 15 m/s. The source is moving with speed 5 m/s in the same direction. Air is blowing with speed 10 m/s from observer to source. If frequency of sound emitted is 325 Hz then find frequency of sound heard by observer (velocity of sound in air = 330 m/s) in Hz .
