A siren emitting a sound of frequency 1100 Hz moves away from you toward the face of a cliff at a speed of 15 m/s. Take the speed of sound in air as 330 m/s.

(a) What is the frequency of the sound you hear coming directly from the siren? (Give your answer to at least one decimal place.) Hz

(b) What is the frequency of the sound you hear reflected off the cliff? (Give your answer to at least one decimal place.) Hz

Hz Is it perceptible (less than 20 Hz)? Yes, No

Sound with a frequency of 1250 Hz leaves a room through a doorway with a width of 1.05 m. At what minimum angle relative to the centerline perpendicular to the doorway will someone outside the room hear no sound? Use 344 m/s for the speed of sound in air and assume that the source and listener are both far enough from the doorway for Fraunhofer diffraction to apply. You can ignore effects of reflections.
