To measure her speed, a skydiver carries a buzzer emitting a steady tone at 1 800 Hz. A friend on the ground at the landing site directly below listens to the amplified sound he receives. Assume the air is calm and the speed of sound is independent of altitude. While the skydiver is falling at terminal speed, her friend on the ground receives waves of frequency 2 150 Hz. (a) What is the skydivers speed of descent? (b) What If? Suppose the skydiver can hear the sound of the buzzer reflected from the ground. What frequency does she receive?
Two loudspeakers are located 2.81 m apart on an outdoor stage. A listener is 24.5 m from one and 26.1 m from the other. During the sound check, a signal generator drives the two speakers in phase with the same amplitude and frequency. The transmitted frequency Is swept through the audible range (20 Hz to 20 kHz). (a) What is the lowest frequency fmin.1 that gives minimum signal (destructive interference) at the listener's location? By what number must fmin.1 be multiplied to get (b) the second lowest frequency fmin.2 that gives minimum signal and (c) the third lowest frequency fmin,3 that gives minimum signal? (d) What is the lowest frequency fmax,1 that gives maximum signal (constructive interference) at the listener's location? By what number must fmax,1 be multiplied to get (e) the second lowest frequency fmax.2 that gives maximum signal and (f) the third lowest frequency fmax.3 that gives maximum signal?

Two fire alarms are placed in a building, one 3.1 m north of the other. A person sitting at a desk which is 51.2 m east and 9.9 m north of the point mid-way between the alarms does not hear them when they sound. What is the lowest frequency that the alarms can be sounding at assuming that the alarms are both perfectly in phase? [speed of sound in air=330m/s] For real fire alarms dead zones like this are not a problem, why? (Please type answer no write by hend)
A 2.00 MHz sound wave travels through a pregnant woman’s abdomen and is reflected from the fetal heart wall of her unborn baby. The heart wall is moving toward the sound receiver as the heart beats. The reflected sound is then mixed with the transmitted sound, and 72 beats per second are detected. The speed of sound in body tissue is 1500 m>s. Calculate the speed of the fetal heart wall at the instant this measurement is made.
Two identical loudspeakers are placed on a wall 1.00 m apart. A listener stands 4.00 m from the wall directly in front of one of the speakers. A single oscillator is driving the speakers at a frequency of 300 Hz. (a) What is the phase difference in radians between the waves from the speakers when they reach the observer? (Your answer should be between 0 and 2π.) (b) What is the frequency closest to 300 Hz to which the oscillator may be adjusted such that the observer hears minimal sound?
