Hot chocolate effect. Tap a metal spoon inside a mug of water and note the frequency fi you hear. Then add a spoonful of powder (say, chocolate mix or instant coffee) and tap again as you stir the powder. The frequency you hear has a lower value fs because the tiny air bubbles released by the powder change the waters bulk modulus. As the bubbles reach the water surface and disappear, the frequency gradually shifts back to its initial value. During the effect, the bubbles dont appreciably change the waters density or volume or the sounds wavelength. Rather, they change the value of dV/dpthat is, the differential change in volume due to the differential change in the pressure caused by the sound wave in the water.

Ultrasound, which consists of sound waves with frequencies above the human audible range, can be used to produce an image of the interior of a human body. Moreover, ultrasound can be used to measure the speed of the blood in the body; it does so by comparing the frequency of the ultrasound sent into the body with the frequency of the ultrasound reflected back to the bodys surface by the blood. As the blood pulses, this detected frequency varies. Suppose that an ultrasound image of the arm of a patient shows an artery that is angled at u # 20- to the ultrasounds line of travel (Fig. 17-47). Suppose also that the frequency of the ultrasound reflected by the blood in the artery is increased by a maximum of 5495 Hz from the original ultrasound frequency of 5.000 000 MHz. (a) In Fig. 17-47, is the direction of the blood flow rightward or leftward? (b) The speed of sound in the human arm is 1540 m/s. What is the maximum speed of the blood? (Hint:The Doppler effect is caused by the component of the bloods velocity along the ultrasounds direction of travel.) (c) If angle u were greater, would the reflected frequency be greater or less?

On July 10, 1996, a granite block broke away from a wall in Yosemite Valley and, as it began to slide down the wall, was launched into projectile motion. Seismic waves produced by its impact with the ground triggered seismographs as far away as 200 km.
