Concept explainers

Equation of Waves

Wave is an oscillation or disturbance traveling in a medium. It performs the transportation of energy but does not carry any matter. This motion of waves will transport fuel in a medium without permanent transfer of mass (particle).

Question

While hiking through a canyon, Noah Formula lets out a scream. An echo
(reflection of the scream off a nearby canyon wall) is heard 0.82 seconds after the scream. The speed of the sound wave in air is 7.2 km/hr. Calculate the distance from Noah to the nearby canyon wall.

In Bosnia, the ultimate test of a young nuns courage used to be to jump off a 400-year-old bridge (destroyed in 1993; rebuilt in 2004) into the River Neretva, 23 m below the bridge. (a) How long did the jump last? (b) How fan was the jumper traveling upon impact with the river? (c) If the speed of sound in air is 340 m/s, how long after the jumper took off did a spectator on the bridge hear the splash?
During a thunderstorm, a frightened child is soothed by learning to estimate the distance to a lightning strike by counting the time between seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder (Fig. P2.25). The speed vs of sound in air depends on the air temperature, but assume the value is 343 m/s. The speed of light c is 3.00 108 m/s. a. A child sees the lightning and then counts to eight slowly before hearing the thunder. Assume the light travel time is negligible. Estimate the distance to the lightning strike. b. Using your estimate in part (a), find the light travel time. Is it fair to neglect the light travel time? c. Think about how time was measured in this problem. Is it fair to neglect the difference between the speed of sound in cold air (vs at 0C = 331.4 m/s) and the speed of sound in very warm air (vs at 40C = 355.4 m/s)?
You place your ear onto a steel railroad track and hear the sound of a distant train through the rails Δt = 3.6 seconds faster than you do through the air. The speed of sound in steel is vs = 6100 m/s while in air the speed of sound is va = 343 m/s. (a) Write an equation for the time it takes the sound to reach you through the air if the distance to the train is represented by D. (b) Write an equation for the time it takes the sound to reach you through the steel if the distance to the train is represented by D. (c) Use the difference in these two times to write an equation for the distance to the train. (d) For the given information find the distance to the train in meters.
A lightning bolt is observed and the resultant thunderclap is heard 5 seconds afterwards. Assuming the speed of sound in air is 340 m/s, how far away was the lightning bolt? Your answer should be in units of m but you should only submit the number for your answer.
A stone is dropped from a well and 5 sec later the sound of the splash is heard. If the speed of the sound is 340 m/s, what is the depth of the well? A. 117.89m B. 106.14m C. 17.59m D. 107.59m
A jogger hears a car alarm and decides to investigate. While running toward the car, she hears an alarm frequency of 868.5 Hz. After passing the car, she hears the alarm at a frequency of 844.5 Hz. If the speed of sound is 343 m/s. 1)Calculate the speed of the jogger. (Express your answer to three significant figures.)
A child dropped a ball from a building. The sound of it hitting the water of the swimming pool below comes 3.2 s later. How high (in meters) is the child from the pool? Take the speed of sound to be 340 m/s a.) 41.3. b.) 44.2. c.) 43.8. d.) 46.0. e.) 46.3.

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.
