Questions and Answers

What is the frequency of the sound being emitted by the stationary source?

  • 510 Hz
  • 500 Hz (correct)
  • 490 Hz
  • 480 Hz

What is the typical velocity of sound in air at room temperature?

  • 350 m/s
  • 330 m/s
  • 360 m/s
  • 340 m/s (correct)

What is the equation used to calculate the frequency observed?

  • frequency observed = frequency of source * velocity of observer / velocity of sound (correct)
  • frequency observed = velocity of sound / frequency of source * velocity of observer
  • frequency observed = velocity of observer / velocity of sound * frequency of source
  • frequency observed = frequency of source * velocity of sound / velocity of observer
