Two friends blow two whistles at the same time. The first whistle makes a sound whose frequency is twice that of the sound made by the other whistle. Which sound will reach you first ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Both sounds will reach you at the same time. Wave speed is not dependent on frequency, although the reverse is true,

Shin Chan and his mother have a tin whistle each. The pipe length of Shin chan's tin whistle is 52 cm long while the pipe length of mother's tin whistle is 50 cm long. They both play at the same time, sounding the whistles at their fundamental resonant frequencies. They note that they are not in tune with each other. The velocity of sound in air is 325 m//s . Assume the whistle is a pipe with one end open find the beat frequency (in Hz) that is heard when both whistles are playing simultaneously. (Round off to nearest integer)

A traffic policeman sounds a whistle to stop a car-driver approaching towards him. The car-driver does not stop and takes the plea in court that because of the Doppler shift, the frequency of the whistle reaching him might have gone beyond the audible limit of 20 kHz and he did not hear it. Experiments showed that the whistle emits a sound with frequency close to 16 kHz. Assuming that the claim of the driver is true, how fast was he driving the car ? Take the speed of sound in air to be 330 m s^-1 . Is this speed practical with today's technology ?
