A trailer truck traveling east at 38 m/s sounds a 1300 Hz horn. what is the wavelength stationary listener west?

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.0292m

Explanation:

The velocity of sound wave is expressed using the formula;

[tex]v = f \lambda[/tex] where

f is the frequency

[tex]\lambda\\[/tex] is the wavelength

Given

f = 1300Hz

v = 38m/s

Required

wavelength [tex]\lambda\\[/tex]

From the formula;

[tex]\lambda\\[/tex] = v/f

[tex]\lambda\\[/tex] = 38/1300

[tex]\lambda\\[/tex] = 0.0292m

Hence the required value of the wavelength is 0.0292m

The wavelength of a stationary listener is 0.029 m.

The given parameters;

  • speed of the truck's sound, v = 38 m/s
  • frequency of the truck's sound, f = 1300 Hz

The wavelength of a stationary listener is calculated as follows;

[tex]v = f\lambda[/tex]

where;

λ is the wavelength of the sound wave

The value of the wavelength is determined as;

[tex]\lambda = \frac{v}{f} \\\\\lambda = \frac{38}{1300} \\\\\lambda = 0.029 \ m[/tex]

Thus, the wavelength of a stationary listener is 0.029 m.
