Suppose two groups of singers, A and B, are 51 meters apart Group B synchronizes itself to the sounds it hears from Group A. To the members of Group A, does Group B appear to be synchronized with Group A? If not, what is the apparent discrepancy (in seconds)? Take the speed of sound to be 340 meters per second. Show details.

Suppose that two people standing 2 miles apart both see the burst from a fireworks display. After a period of time, the first person standing at point A hears the burst. Five seconds later the second person standing at point B hears the burst. If the person at point B is due west of the person at point A and if the display is known to occur due north of the person at point A, where did the fireworks display occur? Note that sound travels at 1100 feet per second.
Calculate the speed of sound in a gas in which two wavelengths 204cm and 208cm produce 20 beats in 6 second.
A human cannot hear sound at a frequency of 100 kHz or sound at 102 kHz. But if you walk into a room in which two sources are emitting sound waves, one at 100 kHz and the other at 102 kHz, you’ll hear sound. Explain.
A airplane approaches at an altitude of 10 km flying at 600 km/hr. 1. If the air temperature on average is -10 °C, what is the speed of sound in air? 2. If the plane will be overhead in 1 minute, when will we hear it coming? 3. Assuming the plane emits a frequency of 2000 Hz from its engines, what frequency do we hear initially when it is 1 minute away, and what frequency do we hear 1 minute after it has passed by?
What will happen when two sound waves of slightly different frequencies occur at the same time? How will the frequency of the overall interference between the two waves compare to the difference of their individual frequencies?
briefly In what ways do sound waves differ from light?
If a source of sound moves toward an observer who is at rest, would the observer hear a higher or lower pitch (than the source emits)? and how is that related to wave fronts??
Why do you think your voice sounds so different to you when you hear a recording of your speech?
Sound waves of 675 ?? travel at a speed of 345 ?/? through a doorway in a soundproof wall.If the doorway is 1.5 ? wide, how many “quiet spots” (locations where no sound is heard”) will there be along a line parallel to the wall? What will be the angular location of these quiet spots?
Is the Doppler shift real or just a sensory illusion?
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 .
