A student records the following speeds for identical sound waves in three different mediums: In a classroom (air) Underwater Through the top of a wooden lab table Speed of Sound Wave (m/s) 1,484 m/s 343 m/s 3962 m/s What relationship could the student draw between the speed of sound and the type of medium based on this data? As the medium gets denser, the speed of the sound wave increases. As the medium gets denser, the speed of the sound wave decreases. As the medium gets less dense, the speed of the sound wave increases. The density of the medium does not affect the speed of the sound wave.

Early Doppler shift experiments were conducted using a band playing music on a train. A trumpet player on a moving railroad flatcar plays a 320-Hz note. The sound waves heard by a stationary observer on a train platform hears a frequency of 350 Hz. What is the flatcar’s speed in mph? The temperature of the air is TC=22C .
Several ducks are floating on a lake on a windy day. The ducks bob up and down everytwo seconds as a result of the waves. Whenever one particular duck moves up, it can seeanother duck ten meters away moving down. What is the speed of the waves?
