At an air show a jet flies directly toward the stands at a speed of 1230 km/h, emitting a frequency of 3140 Hz, on a day when the speed of sound is 342 m/s.

a. What frequency (in Hz) is received by the observers?
b. What frequency do they receive as the plane flies directly away from them?

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of the jet, [tex]v_s=1230\ km/h=341.67\ m/s[/tex]

Frequency of the sound produced by jet, f = 3140 Hz

Speed of sound in air, v = 342 m/s

(a) The formula of the observed frequency is given in terms of Doppler's effect as :

[tex]f'=f(\dfrac{v+v_o}{v-v_s})[/tex]

[tex]v_o[/tex] is the speed of observer

[tex]f'=3140\times (\dfrac{342}{342-341.67})\\\\f'=3254181.8\\\\f'=3254\ kHz[/tex]

(b) Let f' is the frequency received as the plane flies directly away from them. So,

[tex]f'=f(\dfrac{v+0}{v-(-v_s)})\\\\f'=f(\dfrac{v+0}{v+v_s})[/tex]

[tex]f'=3140\times (\dfrac{342}{342+341.67})\\\\f'=1570.75[/tex]

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

a. [tex]f_o=1570.75\ Hz[/tex]

b. [tex]f_o=3254181.82\ Hz[/tex] which won't be audible to the humans as the audible capacity of the human ear is from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz.

Explanation:

Given:

  • speed of jet, [tex]v=1230\ km.hr^{-1}=341.67\ m.s^{-1}[/tex]
  • speed of sound in air, [tex]s=342\ m.s^{-1}[/tex]
  • frequency of sound, [tex]f=3140\ Hz[/tex]

a.

Since the sound source is moving therefore we can determine the observed frequency by the Doppler's effect given as:

[tex]\frac{f_o}{f} =\frac{s-v_o}{s+v}[/tex]

where:

[tex]f_o=[/tex] observed frequency when the jet plane approaches the observers

[tex]v_o=[/tex] observer's velocity = 0

[tex]\frac{f_o}{3140} =\frac{342-0}{342+341.67}[/tex]

[tex]f_o=1570.75\ Hz[/tex]

b.

When the plane flies away from the observers then we take its velocity as negative.

[tex]\frac{f_o}{f} =\frac{s-v_o}{s+v}[/tex]

where:

[tex]f_o=[/tex] observed frequency when the jet plane flies away from the observers

[tex]v_o=[/tex] observer's velocity = 0

[tex]\frac{f_o}{3140} =\frac{342-0}{342+(-341.67)}[/tex]

[tex]f_o=3254181.82\ Hz[/tex] which won't be audible to the humans as the audible capacity of the human ear is from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz.
