A physics professor demonstrates the Doppler effect by tying a 600 Hz sound generator to a 1.0-m-long rope and whirling it around her heard in a horizontal circle at 100 rpm. What are the highest and lowest frequencies heard by a student in the classroom? Assume the room temperature is 20∘C.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Therefore the the highest frequency is 620Hz and lowest frequency is 580Hz

Explanation:

Given data

Source Frequency fs=600Hz

Length r=1.0m

RPM=100 rpm

The speed of the generator is calculated as:

[tex]v_{s}=rw\\v_{s}=r(2\pi f)[/tex]

Substitute the given values

[tex]v_{s}=(1.0m)2\pi (\frac{100}{60}rev/s )\\v_{s}=10.47m/s[/tex]

For approaching generator the frequency is calculated as:

[tex]f_{+}=\frac{f_{s}}{1-\frac{v_{s}}{v} }\\f_{+}=\frac{600Hz}{1-\frac{10.47m/s}{343m/s} } \\f_{+}=620Hz[/tex]

On the other hand,for the receding generator,Doppler's effect is expressed as:

 [tex]f_{-}=\frac{f_{s}}{1+\frac{v_{s}}{v} }\\f_{-}=\frac{600Hz}{1+\frac{10.47m/s}{343m/s} } \\f_{-}=580Hz[/tex]

Therefore the the highest frequency is 620Hz and lowest frequency is 580Hz
