Exercise 31
Solution 1
Solution 2
Step 1
1 of 1
Physical characteristics of sound waves are: wavelength, amplitude, frequency and speed.
Step 1
1 of 1
Sound waves can be described by
frequency, wavelength, amplitude,
and speed.
Exercise 32
Step 1
1 of 2
Since speed of light equals $c = 3 cdot 10^{8}, mathrm{m/s}$ and speed of sound equals $343, mathrm{m/s}$, speed of light is greater than speed of sound, therefore, they would see the smoke before they hear the sound and if they first hear the sound their time will be longer.
Result
2 of 2
This happens because speed of light is greater than speed of sound, and if they would hear sound first, time of runner will be longer.
Exercise 33
Step 1
1 of 1
Two types of perception of sound are: loudness and pitch, and characteristics that correspond to them are: amplitude and frequency.

Solution 2
Step 1
1 of 1
Doppler shift occurs for all types of waves.

In fact, we use the doppler shift in light waves to study stars and galaxies

Step 1
1 of 1
Doppler shift occur for all types of waves.
Exercise 35
Step 1
1 of 2
Doppler’s effect will be useful in that case because Doppler shift from sound which is reflected from the blood cells which are moving can easily be measured.

What determines the frequency are compressions which are colliding or separating.

Result
2 of 2
Doppler’s effect can be used in measuring speed of blood and waves change by colliding or separating compressions which are caused by motion of the blood.
Exercise 36
Step 1
1 of 1
A vibrating object is needed for the production of sound

A material medium is necessary for the transmission of sound.

Sound cannot travel through vacuum like light

Exercise 37
Step 1
1 of 2
Every object has its own, natural frequency and when note sung by an opera singer become same as the natural frequency of the crystal glass, it will cause molecules of the glass to vibrate with higher amplitude, which is increasing during time after the energy from the incoming sound has been accepted.
Result
2 of 2
Frequency of the note sang by the opera singer will become same as the natural frequency of the glass which will cause molecules of the glass to vibrate with amplitude which is increasing.
Exercise 38
Step 1
1 of 2
If they were marching in step, they will cause a certain frequency which can become as same as the natural frequency of the bridge which will cause resonance, which later leads to terrible consequences such as destruction of the bridge, but when they “route stepping” vibrations from their feet cannot cause resonance.
Result
2 of 2
If they were marching in step vibrations of their feet can cause resonance which can cause destruction of the bridge, but when they do not march in step, resonance cannot be caused.
Exercise 39
Step 1
1 of 2
Musical instruments do not sound like tuning fork because tuning fork produces single-frequency wave which is simple and musical instruments produce complex waves which have many different frequencies.
Result
2 of 2
Tuning fork produces single-frequency, simple wave and instruments produce complex waves with many different frequencies.
Exercise 40
Step 1
1 of 2
Property that distinguishes notes played on both a trumpet and a clarinet if they have the same pitch and loudness is sound quality of timbre.

It is the sound quality of timbre.
Exercise 41

Result
2 of 2
Changing the length of the resonating column of vibrating air of trombone that is varying the pitch is caused by the slide of it.
Exercise 42
Step 1
1 of 2
As we know, speed of sound equals:

$$
c = 343, mathrm{m/s}
$$

Now we have to convert it into $mathrm{km/s}$:

$$
c = dfrac{343, mathrm{m/s}}{1000} = 0.343, mathrm{km/s} = dfrac{1}{2.92}, mathrm{km/s}
$$

Since $2.92mathrm{s} approx 3, mathrm{s}$ we can conclude that sound travels around $1, mathrm{km}$ in $3, mathrm{s}$

Now we have to see what happens in the case of miles and we can conclude that it travels around $1, mathrm{m}$ in $mathrm{5, mathrm{S}}$ which later lead us to the answer that the number of seconds shall be divided by five.

Result
2 of 2
The number of seconds shall be divided by five.
Exercise 43
Step 1
1 of 1
$textbf{(a) }$ Frequency is Independent of medium, so it will remain unchanged

$textbf{(b) }$ Wavelength will increase because speed is increasing and frequency is constant

Exercise 44
Step 1
1 of 2
It cannot be heard and seen at the same time since the light travels faster than sound and since density of matter in space is small, sound waves are most likely not to propagate which means that the sound could not be heard.
Result
2 of 2
It cannot be heard and seen at the same time since the light travels faster than sound does, but since the explosion happened in space and density of matter there is small, sound could not be heard at all.
Exercise 45
Step 1
1 of 2
Since red light has longer wavelength than the other colors, it will have lower frequency, which, when we consider Doppler shift of their light to lower frequency, we can conclude that galaxies are moving away from us.
Result
2 of 2
We can consider Doppler shift of light of the galaxies to lower frequencies and since red color has lower frequency than the other colors, we can conclude that they are moving away from us.
Exercise 46
Step 1
1 of 2
Sounds of 40 dB sound will have sound pressures 100 times greater.
Result
2 of 2
Yes, it will.
Exercise 47
Step 1
1 of 1
$textbf{(a) }$ Frequency will Increase

$textbf{(b) }$ Wavelength will decrease

$textbf{(c) }$ Wave velocity remains unchanged

$textbf{(c) }$ Amplitude remains unchanged

Exercise 48
Step 1
1 of 2
Wavelength and length of the tube are connected by the following equation:

$$
lambda = 4l
$$

Wavelength is also given by:

$$
lambda = dfrac{v}{f}
$$

$$
rightarrow 4l = dfrac{v}{f}
$$

$v$ from the previous equation will be:

$$
v = 4fl
$$

When speed increase, temperature will increase as well that is why we have determined it, and what we can conclude from the last equation is that when $l$ is unchained and $v$ increases $f$ increases as well since they are directly proportional, therefore, the pitch will increase as well.

Result
2 of 2
Since $v = 4fl$, when $l$ is unchanged and speed increase, frequency will increase as well, therefore, the pitch will increase.
Exercise 49
Step 1
1 of 1
$$
text{color{#c34632}Beat frequency is the difference between the two frequencies}
$$

Since beat frequency is increasing, the frequencies are getting farther apart

Exercise 50
Step 1
1 of 2
Since the frequency is twice as high for an open pipe than for the close one, pitch will be increased.
Result
2 of 2
Pitch will be increased.
Exercise 51
Step 1
1 of 2
Every string has different thickness and therefore different tension which leads to producing different pitches.

Thinner will produce higher notes than the thicker ones.

Result
2 of 2
Because they differ in thickness and tension different pitches will be produced.

$$
Result
2 of 2
$$
text{color{#4257b2}Distance from cannon is 1715 m = 1.715 km}
$$
Step 1
1 of 2
This is a basic problem in which we know the speed of sound in air as well as the duration between sound and flash after the cannon fired. The equation is:
$$S=vcdot ttag1$$
Where $S$ is the distance between cannon and you. Including the given values gives us the answer. Keep in mind that the speed of sound in the air is $353~mathrm{frac{m}{s}}$. Using the equation (1) we get:
$$begin{align*}
S&=vcdot t\
&=353~mathrm{frac{m}{cancel{s}}}cdot 5~mathrm{cancel{s}}\
&=boxed{1765~mathrm{m}}
end{align*}$$
We can also convert that into the kilometers:
$$begin{align*}
S= 1765~mathrm{m}= boxed{1.77~mathrm{km}}
end{align*}$$
Result
2 of 2
$S=1.77~mathrm{km}$
Exercise 53
Step 1
1 of 2
Information given in the text are:

$t_{1} = 3, mathrm{s}$

$v = 343, mathrm{m/s}$ which is speed of sound in air

$dfrac{l}{2}=?$

Speed is given by:

$$
v = dfrac{l}{t}
$$

$l$ from the previous equation will be:

$$
l = vt
$$

When we put known values into the previous equation we get:

$$
l = 343, mathrm{m/s} cdot 3, mathrm{s}
$$

Required distance will then be:

$$
dfrac{l}{2} = dfrac{343, mathrm{m/s} cdot 3, mathrm{s}}{2}
$$

$$
boxed{dfrac{l}{2} approx 2.6cdot 10^{2}, mathrm{m}}
$$

Result

$$
dfrac{l}{2} approx 2.6 cdot 10^{2}, mathrm{m}

Step 1
1 of 3
This is a basic problem in which we are given the value for wavelength and we need to find the frequency. Keep in mind that the speed of sound in the air is $353~mathrm{frac{m}{s}}$. Equation is:
$$f=frac{v}{lambda}tag1$$
Step 2
2 of 3
First we need to convert the $lambda$ into the basic units of measurements.
$$begin{align*}
lambda=35~mathrm{mm}=0.0035~mathrm{m}
end{align*}$$
Now we have everything for calculating the frequency:
$$begin{align*}
f&=frac{v}{lambda}\
&=frac{353~mathrm{frac{cancel{m}}{s}}}{0.0035~mathrm{cancel{m}}}\
&=boxed{98000~mathrm{Hz}}
end{align*}$$
That is the frequency we were trying to find.

$$
text{color{#4257b2}0.0175 s}
$$
Step 1
1 of 3
This is a basic problem in which we need to determine the time how long did the sound travel. We know that the sound in the air travels at the speed $v=353frac{m}{s}$. Also we are given the information that the object is 3 meters away, which means that the sound needs to travel from the camera to the object and then back to the camera, which means the total length is six meters $(2cdot 3~mathrm{m}=6~mathrm{m})$. We will use the equation:
$$S=vcdot ttag1$$
Step 2
2 of 3
We will express the time from equation (1) and then calculate the result:
$$begin{align*}
S&=vcdot t\
&Downarrow\
t&=frac{S}{v}\
&=frac{6~mathrm{cancel{m}}}{353frac{cancel{m}}{s}}\
&=boxed{0.017~mathrm{s}}
end{align*}$$
This is the time how long the sound needs to pass such a short distance.

When we put known values into the previous equation we get:

This is a basic problem in which we need to calculate the speed of sound in the freshwater using the given informations. We will use the equation:
$$v=fcdot lambdatag1$$
We are given all the informations in the basic units of measurements so we can immediately calculate the result:
$$begin{align*}
v&=4.4cdot 10^{2}~mathrm{Hz}cdot 3.3~mathrm{m}\

Step 1
1 of 3
This is a basic problem in which we have all the informations we need. We have the frequency and knowledge that the sound is traveling through the iron, that means the speed of sound is $v=5120~mathrm{frac{m}{s}}$. Wavelength can be calculated using:
$$lambda=frac{v}{f}tag1$$
Step 2
2 of 3
Let’s include all the given values in the equation (1):
$$begin{align*}
lambda&=frac{v}{f}\
&=frac{5120~mathrm{frac{m}{cancel{s}}}}{442~mathrm{cancel{Hz}}}\\

$$

$textit{b.}$, Barely audible whisper is $10, mathrm{dB}$, therefore actual level will be:

$textit{a.}$, $100, mathrm{dB}$ sound level of another rock band:

As we have said previously, when there is $20, mathrm{dB}$ of sound level will increase pressure by $10$ factor, therefore, since the increasing is from $80, mathrm{dB}$ to $100, mathrm{dB}$ pressure will be $boxed{$10$}$ times greater.

$textit{b.}$, In this case, sound level is $120, mathrm{dB}$
Now the pressure will increase from $100, mathrm{dB}$ to $120, mathrm{dB}$, therefore it will be $boxed{$100$}$ times greater.

$lambda = 0.5, mathrm{m}$

$v = ?$

Speed is given by:

$$
textbf{(a)}
$$

Speed of sound increases by 0.6 m/s for every 1$text{textdegree}$ C increase in temperature

We know that the speed of sound at $20text{textdegree}$ C is 343 m/s

Therefore speed of sound at $30text{textdegree}$ C will be $343+0.6cdot 10 = 343+6 = 349$ m/s

Speed of sound increases by 0.6 m/s for every 1$text{textdegree}$ C increase in temperature

We know that the speed of sound at $20text{textdegree}$ C is 343 m/s

Therefore speed of sound at $15text{textdegree}$ C will be $343-0.6cdot 5 = 343-3 = 340$ m/s

Step 2

$lambda = ?$

Wavelength is given by:

Exercise 66
Step 1
1 of 3
Information given in the text are:

$t_{1} = 1.74, mathrm{s}$

$t_{2} = 2.36, mathrm{s}$

$T = 25, mathrm{^oC}$

$v = 1875, mathrm{m/s}$

$v_{s} = 1533, mathrm{m/s}$ – speed of sound in seawater

$textit{a.}$, $d=?$

Speed is given by depth per time:

$$
v_{s} = dfrac{d}{t}
$$

Therefore, depth will be:

$$
d = v_{s} cdot t
$$

Since $t$ is time for trip in one way it will be:

$$
begin{align*}
t &= dfrac{t_{1}}{2}\
&= dfrac{1.74, mathrm{s}}{2}\
&= 0.87, mathrm{s}\
end{align*}
$$

Therefore, the depth will be:

$$
d = 1533, mathrm{m/s} cdot 0.87, mathrm{s}
$$

$$
boxed{d = 1300, mathrm{m}}
$$

Step 2
2 of 3
$textit{b.}$, $l=?$

Speed is given by:

$$
v = dfrac{l}{t}
$$

Therefore $l$ will be:

$$
; = vt
$$

$t$ is one-way time in the mud, but in order to determine it, we must determine round-trip first:

$$
t_{round-trip} = 2.36, mathrm{s} – 1.74, mathrm{s} = 0.62, mathrm{s}
$$

$t$ will then be:

$$
begin{align*}
t &= dfrac{t_{round-trip}}{2}\
&= dfrac{0.62, mathrm{s}}{2}\
&= 0.31, mathrm{s}\
end{align*}
$$

Finally, thickness of the mud will be:

Information given in the text are:

level of sound: $60, mathrm{dB}$

As we know, pressure difference will increase by $10$ factor when sound level increase by $20, mathrm{dB}$.

What we have at sound level of $0, mathrm{dB}$ is that the pressure is varying around $2 cdot 10^{-5}, mathrm{Pa}$, therefore at sound level of $60, mathrm{dB}$ we will have:

$$
2 cdot 10^{-5} cdot 10 cdot 10 cdot 10 = 2 cdot 10^{-5}, mathrm{Pa} cdot 10^{3}
$$

Since there is triple increasing in pressure ($20, mathrm{dB} cdot 3$), which lead us to final answer:

a) In the first problem we have the stationary train which will detect the frequency. Because it doesn’t move it’s speed is zero. Using the equation (1) we will calculate the result:
$$begin{align*}

This is a basic problem in which we first need to determine the wavelength using the length of the plastic tube. Using that we can include the value in the equation for frequency and finish the solution. Keep in mind that the wavelength is going to be twice the length, which means:

Pressure is given as force per area:

Therefore, force will be:

Since wavelength is given by:

$$

lambda = dfrac{v}{f}
$$

Frequency from the previous equation will be:

$$
f = dfrac{v}{2L}
$$

Step 2

When we put known values into the previous equation we get:

$$
f = dfrac{343, mathrm{m/s}}{2 cdot 0.836, mathrm{m}} = 205, mathrm{Hz}
$$

Pitch of the second open pipe will be:

since the frequency ratio when pitch is one major third higher will be: $dfrac{5}{4}$

Therefore:

This is a basic problem which needs Doppler effect to be solved. We are given the speed of the bird which is singing at the pitch of $945~mathrm{Hz}$. Because the bird is flying towards the astronaut he hears a higher pitch. Keep in mind that he is not moving, which means his speed is equal to zero. We don’t know what atmosphere is made of on this planet so because of that we need to determine the speed of sound in it, in other words we can’t assume that it is same as air on the earth. Equation is:
$$f_{d}=f_{s}cdot bigg(frac{v-v_{d}}{v-v_{s}}bigg)tag1$$

f_{d}cdot(v-v_{s})&=f_{s}cdot(v-v_{d})\
vcdot f_{d}~- v_{s}cdot f_{d}&=vcdot f_{s}~- v_{d}cdot f_{s}\
vcdot (f_{d}-f_{s})&= v_{s}cdot f_{d}- v_{d}cdot f_{s}\

This is a basic Doppler effect problem in which we can use it’s equation to solve the problem directly. We are given the speed of sound, speed of whale as well as frequency of the sonar. Keep in mind that in this case the ship is not moving in any direction while whale is traveling away from the ship. The equation for Doppler effect is:
$$f_{d}=f_{s}cdotbigg(frac{v-v_{d}}{v-v_{s}}bigg)tag1$$
Step 2
2 of 4
First let’s find the frequency which will the whale receives. We can do that using equation (1) by switching $v_{d}$ with the speed of whale and $v_{s}$ with the speed of ship. Keep in mind that the speed of ship is zero.
$$begin{align*}
f_{d}&=f_{s}cdotbigg(frac{v-v_{d}}{v-v_{s}}bigg)\
&=f_{s}cdotbigg(frac{v-v_{d}}{v}bigg)\
&=22.5~mathrm{kHz}cdot bigg(frac{1533~mathrm{cancel{frac{m}{s}}}-4.15~mathrm{cancel{frac{m}{s}}}}{1533~mathrm{cancel{frac{m}{s}}}}bigg)\
&=22.44~mathrm{kHz}
end{align*}$$
The frequency that is going back from the whale to the ship is this, the one we calculated.
Step 3

Now we will use the value we calculated in the previous step for $f_{d}$ as a new $f_{s}$. We will use the equation (1) again. Keep in mind that now the speed of whale is not the speed of detector $v_{d}$, but rather $v_{s}$. The speed of detector is the ship itself which is still zero.
$$begin{align*}
f_{d}&=f_{s}cdotbigg(frac{v-v_{d}}{v-v_{s}}bigg)\
&=22.44~mathrm{kHz}cdot bigg(frac{1533~mathrm{cancel{frac{m}{s}}}}{1533~mathrm{cancel{frac{m}{s}}}-(-4.15~mathrm{cancel{frac{m}{s}}})}bigg)\

In this problem we will need to find the frequency of the note played by the trumpeter before we start calculating the speed of the train. To find the speed of the train we will use the Doppler effect equation which is:
$$f_{d}=f_{s}cdot bigg(frac{v-v_{d}}{v-v_{s}}bigg)tag1$$
To find the frequency we will use it’s equation for beat frequency which is:
$$f=abs{f_{1}-f_{2}}tag2$$
The unknown frequency is $f_{2}$.
Step 2
2 of 4
Let’s use equation (2) first. Played note is frequency one, and the frequency $f$ is the beat frequency:
$$begin{align*}
f&=abs{f_{1}-f_{2}}\
3~mathrm{Hz}&=abs{440~mathrm{Hz}-f_{2}}\
&Downarrow\
f_{2}&=437~mathrm{Hz} ~~text{or}~~ 443~mathrm{Hz}
end{align*}$$
Because the train is moving towards him we know that the frequency must be lower.
Step 3
3 of 4
Let’s now use the equation (2) to conclude this solution:
$$begin{align*}
f_{d}&=f_{s}cdot bigg(frac{v-v_{d}}{v-v_{s}}bigg)\
f_{d}&=f_{s}cdot bigg(frac{v-v_{d}}{v}bigg)\
frac{f_{d}cdot v}{f_{s}}&=(v-v_{d})\
&Downarrow\
v_{d}&=v-frac{f_{d}cdot v}{f_{s}}\
&=343~mathrm{frac{m}{s}} – 343~mathrm{frac{m}{s}}cdot bigg(frac{437~mathrm{cancel{Hz}}}{440~mathrm{cancel{Hz}}}bigg)\
&=boxed{2.3~mathrm{frac{m}{s}}}
end{align*}$$
That is the speed of train.
Result
4 of 4
$v_{d}=2.3~mathrm{frac{m}{s}}$
Exercise 92
Solution 1
Solution 2
Step 1
1 of 2
a)

$f_2 = 2 f_1 = (2)*(440) = 880 Hz$

$f_2 = (f_1) (dfrac{v – v_o}{v – v_s})$

$880 = (440) (dfrac{343 – v_o}{343 – 0.0})$

$880 = (440) (dfrac{343 – v_o}{343})$

Solve for $v_o$:

$v_o = 343 m/s$

b)

No we shouldd not, moving with the speed of 343m/s is dangerous.

Result
2 of 2
a) $343 m/s$

b) No

Step 1
1 of 5
This is a problem in which we need to use the information from previous problem. Keep in mind that we are not listening to the beat notes which means that we need to calculate the frequency first using:
$$f_{2}=f_{1}cdot 2tag1$$
From which we easily conclude that the new frequency is going to be $880~mathrm{Hz}$ using the information from the text. Played note is still $440~mathrm{Hz}$. Using Doppler effect equation we will get the answer at which speed should the car move for us to succeed in this experiment.
$$f_{d}=f_{s}cdotbigg(frac{v-v_{d}}{v-v_{s}}bigg)tag2$$
Step 2
2 of 5
a) Using the equation (2) we can find the $v_{d}$. Keep in mind that the $v_{s}=0$.
$$begin{align*}
f_{d}&=f_{s}cdotbigg(frac{v-v_{d}}{v-v_{s}}bigg)\
&=f_{s}cdotbigg(frac{v-v_{d}}{v}bigg)\
&Downarrow\
v_{d}&=v- frac{vcdot f_{d}}{f_{s}}\
end{align*}$$
Step 3
3 of 5
After we expressed the value we will now calculate the result.
$$begin{align*}
v_{d}&=v- frac{vcdot f_{d}}{f_{s}}\
&=343~mathrm{frac{m}{s}}-343~mathrm{frac{m}{s}} cdot frac{880~cancel{mathrm{Hz}}}{440~cancel{mathrm{Hz}}}\
&=boxed{-343~mathrm{frac{m}{s}}}
end{align*}$$
The negative result tells us the direction of the car.
Step 4

b) **No.** Moving at the speed of sound in the air or in other words $343~mathrm{frac{m}{s}}$ is possible with certain vehicles such as military aircrafts. It’s really dangerous, not really possible and should **not** be done for this kind of experiment.
Result

$$begin{align*}

&text{b) See the explanation.}

Exercise 93

Information given in the text are:

$L = 65, mathrm{cm} = 0.65, mathrm{cm}$

$m = 3.2, mathrm{g} = 0.0032, mathrm{kg}$

$$
f = 147, mathrm{Hz}
$$

$F_{T} = ?$

Speed of a wave on a string is given by:

$$
v = sqrt{dfrac{F_{T}}{mu}}
$$

Where: $F_{T}$ is tension in the string and $mu$ is the mass per unit length
.
First we will determine mass per unit length which is given by:

$$
mu = dfrac{mu}{L}
$$

When we put known values into the previous equation we get:

$$
begin{align*}
mu &= dfrac{0.0032, mathrm{kg}}{0.65, mathrm{m}}\
&= 4.9 cdot 10^{3}, mathrm{kg/m}\
end{align*}
$$

Step 2
2 of 3
Next, we will determine wavelength so we could determine speed later:

$$
lambda = 2L
$$

$$
begin{align*}
lambda &= 2 cdot 0.65, mathrm{m}\
&= 1.30, mathrm{m}\
end{align*}
$$

Speed is given by:

$$
v = f lambda
$$

$$
begin{align*}
v &= 147, mathrm{Hz} cdot 1.30, mathrm{m}\
&= 191, mathrm{m/s}\
end{align*}
$$

Finally, tension from the given equation for the speed of a wave on a string will be:

$$
F_{T} = v^{2} mu
$$

$$
begin{align*}
F_{T} &= (191, mathrm{m/s})^{2} cdot 4.9 cdot 10^{-3}, mathrm{kg/m}\
&= boxed{180, mathrm{N}}\
end{align*}
$$

$$
F_{T} = 180, mathrm{N}

$f_1 = 367.14 Hz$

The frequency received by the train:

$f_2 = (f_1) (dfrac{v – v_{train}}{v – v_{tunnel}})$

$f_2 = (367.14) (dfrac{343 – (-37.5)}{343 – (0.0)})$

Exercise 97
Step 1

Information given in the text are:

$L = 200, mathrm{m}$

First, we have to measure certain values in order to determine speed of sound, since we have the distance which is $200, mathrm{m}$ we have to measure interval of time in which sound reaches us.

We can do it by starting the measurement the moment we see the hit and stop it when we hear the sound.

All we have to do now is to divide given distance with the time we have just measured which will be large because of the way we have measured, therefore, estimated speed of sound will be too small since the time is large.

Result

Speed of sound will be too small.

The problem states that astronomers have detected that a light wave from a point on the left edge of the Sun has a $textbf{textit{slightly higher frequency}}$ compared to the light from the right side. This indicates that the Sun must be $textbf{textit{rotating on its axis}}$ similar to our home planet, Earth. It is shown by the Doppler shift that $textbf{textit{the left side of the Sun is moving towards us}}$, whereas, $textbf{textit{the right side is moving away from us}}$.
Result

The Sun is $textbf{rotating}$ on its axis.
Step 1

Doppler effect is being used in order to detect that slightly higher frequency and these measurements show us that left side of the Sun is coming towards us and the right one is moving away from us.

We can conclude that Sun is coming towards us and the right one is moving away from us.
Exercise 99
Step 1

For the experiment that could test the formula for the speed of a wave on a string we need different strings and weights.

First we can determine mass per unit of length $mu$.

What we need to measure in order to determine it are mass of the string and its length and after we can determine tension by putting weights on it which will stretch it and by measuring the amount of stretch we can easily determine it.

Next, we can determine frequency for what we need frequency generator and by using beats we can tune it.

Finally, we can determine speed which equals: $v = lambda f = 2 L f$, where: $L$ is length of the string.

Result
2 of 2
In this experiment we need to measure mass and length of the string in order to determine mass per unit of length. Also we have to determine tension force by hanging weights on one end of the string and by measuring stretching.

Finally, we can measure frequency by using frequency generator and finally determine speed in the end by using the following formula:

$$
v = f 2 L
$$

5 Tailpiece.
6 Pegs.
7 Bow.
8 Strings.
Step 2
2 of 3
The distinctive sound of a violin is the result of interactions between its many parts. Drawing a bow across the strings causes the strings to vibrate. This vibration is transmitted through the bridge and sound post to the body of the violin (mainly the top and back), which allows the sound to effectively radiate into the surrounding air. The tension and type of strings, placement and tension of the sound post, quality of the bow, and the construction of the body, all contribute to the loudness and tonal quality of the sound.
Step 3
3 of 3
properties of the key vibrational resonances or ‘modes’ of the instruments, recording the frequencies of these modes, the radiativity (the sound radiated for a certain applied force to the strings at the bridge), the degree of focusing in specific directions (directivity), the flexibility of the wooden body plates, and the amount of damping of the sound. “The radiativity is closest to what the violinist hears and thus bears most directly on the quality perception
Step 1
1 of 1
Materials and sound which the instrument produces are the two main factors. Materials must be of a good quality, nice strong strings, quality wood etc. Sound, or in other words tone, quality needs to be checked as well. It must be clean, strong sound, without any kind of fuzzy tone while playing. It can sometimes feel like the tone is unclear and strangled. The cheaper ones are often made by cheap materials as well as not much tested for tone quality, which is often used by the beginners.

We are to discuss the role of the Doppler Effect in the big bang theory, and how it is utilized to detect planets around other stars, and study the movements of the galaxies. To be able to discuss these topics, we should research about $textit{Edwin Hubble}$, the $textit{redshift}$ and the $textit{expanding universe}$. In 1929, Edwin Hubble found out that the universe is expanding. Since then, we have known that most galaxies are moving away from us. The redshift is basically the wavelength of of the light is being stretched such that the light seems shifted to the red part of the light spectrum. A similar occurrence happens to sound waves when a source moves with respect to the observer, which is called the Doppler Effect. The discussion should also include $textit{spectroscopy}$ and the $textit{wobbles in the movement of the planet-star systems}$. Spectroscopy is the study of both absorption and emission of light and other radiation by matter and is involved with the study and measurement of the spectra that is produced when objects interact or emit electromagnetic waves.

$textit{b.}$, $V_{B2} = ?$ and $P_{B2} = ?$:

We will be using law of conservation of momentum in horizontal and vertical direction:

In horizontal direction it is:

$$
P_{A1} = P_{B2}
$$

$$
m_{A} V_{A1} = m_{B} V_{B2}
$$

When we put known values into the previous equation we get:

$$
m_{B} V_{B2h} = 3, mathrm{kg m/s}
$$

In vertical direction it is:

$$
P_{A2} + P_{B2} = 0
$$

$$
m_{A} V_{A2} + m_{B} V_{B2} = 0
$$

Step 4

When we put known values into the previous equation we get:

$$
m_{B}V_{B2v}= – 2, mathrm{kg cdot m/s}
$$

Momentum $P_{B2}$ as intensity of an vector will be given as sum of intensity of vectors:

$$
P_{B2} = sqrt{P_{B2}^{2h} + P_{B2}^{2v}}
$$

$$
P_{B2} = sqrt{(3, mathrm{kg m/s})^{2} + (-2, mathrm{kg m/s)^{2}}}
$$

$$
P_{B2} = 3.6, mathrm{kg m/s}

Therefore $V_{B2}$ will be given as:

$$
V_{B2} = dfrac{P_{B2}}{m_{B}}

$$
V_{B2} = dfrac{3.6, mathrm{kg m/s}}{2, mathrm{kg}}
