Consider two submarines A and B traveling through water. Submarine A is moving at 5.00 m/s. Submarine B is moving at 8.00 m/s while emitting a sonar wave at a frequency of 1.20 × 103 Hz. The speed of sound in water is 1.50 × 103 m/s and there is no wind. Enter the answers in scientific notation.
What frequency is detected by an observer riding on submarine A as the submarines approach each other?
What is the observed wavelength of the sonar wave as the submarines approach each other?
In the given problem frequency detected by an Observer riding the submarine A as the submarines approach each other can be find using below formula
Observed wavelength of Sonar wave as submarines approach each other can be find using below formula
Where V = speed of Sonar wave
observed frequency calculated above
