Problem 73P
A person leaning over a 125-m-deep well accidentally drops a siren emitting sound of frequency 2500 before this siren hits the bottom of the well, find the frequency and wavelength of the sound the person hears (a) coming directly from the siren aud (b) reflected off the bottom of the well, (c) What beat frequency does this person perceive?
ANSWER:Solution 73P
For the sound coming directly to the observer at the top of the well,the source is moving away from the listener.for the reflected sound,the water at the bottom of the well is the listener so the source is moving toward the listener.the water reflect same frequency sound receives.
Here the velocity is needed to calculate frequency that is calculated by using equation
Where, depth of well
Acceleration due to gravity
Siren emitting sound of frequency
Then,
v ~
(a).The frequency and wavelength of the sound the person hears (a) coming directly from the siren
Frequency
