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

(c) What is the beat frequency between the two sounds?

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

An electron beam moves toward a cathode ray tube screen, which is 50 cm away from the negative electrode. The electrons are accelerated by a potential difference of 18 kV. Estimate the maximum displacement of the electron beam caused by Earth's magnetic field. The average magnetic field at the surface of Earth is roughly BE = 45×10−6T. Δz = ?

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.

A tuning fork generates sound waves with a frequency of 230 Hz. The waves travel in opposite directions along a hallway, are reflected by walls, and return. The hallway is46.0 m long and the tuning fork is located 14.0 m from one end. What is the phase difference between the reflected waves when they meet at the tuning fork? The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s. (Ans in degrees)
