A green car and a yellow car can move along the same straight one-lane road. Both cars can move only at one speed when they move (e.g., 35 mph). The driver of the yellow car sounds his horn. In which one of the following situations does the driver of the green car hear the lowest horn frequency? Group of answer choices a)The green car is moving toward the yellow car, which is stationary. b)The yellow car is moving toward the green car, which is stationary. c)Both cars are moving at the same speed, and they are moving toward each other. d)Both cars are moving in the same direction at the same speed. e)Both cars are moving at the same speed, and they are moving apart.
Properties of sound
A sound wave is a mechanical wave (or mechanical vibration) that transit through media such as gas (air), liquid (water), and solid (wood).
Quality Of Sound
A sound or a sound wave is defined as the energy produced due to the vibrations of particles in a medium. When any medium produces a disturbance or vibrations, it causes a movement in the air particles which produces sound waves. Molecules in the air vibrate about a certain average position and create compressions and rarefactions. This is called pitch which is defined as the frequency of sound. The frequency is defined as the number of oscillations in pressure per second.
Categories of Sound Wave
People perceive sound in different ways, like a medico student takes sound as vibration produced by objects reaching the human eardrum. A physicist perceives sound as vibration produced by an object, which produces disturbances in nearby air molecules that travel further. Both of them describe it as vibration generated by an object, the difference is one talks about how it is received and other deals with how it travels and propagates across various mediums.
