The speed of light is c = 3.0 x 10^8 m/s. If the distance between the Earth and the moon is d = 2.39 x 10^5 mi (1.0 mi = 1.61 km). You send a laser from the Earth to the moon and back. How long does this take?
An ambulance passes by a stationary observer releasing its siren at a frequency of 479Hz. The difference between the frequency observed by the observer as the car was approaching and with when the ambulance was moving away was 62Hz. How fast is the ambulance moving? Assume the speed of sound is 339m/s
You are watching a baseball game on a day when the air temperature is 20 oC. You see the bat hit the ball. You hear the sound 0.16 seconds later. How far are you from home plate? *The speed of sound at 20°C is 344m/s
Careless Doug is standing on the summit of Mount Whitney (elevation 14,505 ft) while his prudent friend Hal is back at their basecamp on the shore of Iceberg Lake (elevation 12,621 ft). According to Google Maps, the horizontal distance between them is 1997 ft. Suddenly, a storm blows up, and poor Doug is struck by lightning. How much time elapses between when Hal sees the strike and when he hears it? Use 330 m/s for the speed of sound in the cold Sierra air.
Given the following data collected about the velocity of the red light (650 nm) and green light (510 nm) on air. Vred(T=0˚C) = Vgreen(T=0˚C) = Vred(T=11˚C) = Vgreen(T=11˚C) = Vred(T=45˚C) = Vgreen (T=45˚C) What are your conclusions comparing the effect of the temperature and frequency on sound and light velocities? Justify your answer based on the data presented and the physics of sound and light.
