A bat flying at 4.65 m/s is chasing an insect flying in the same direction. The bat emits a 39.9-kHz chirp and receives back an echo at 40.6 kHz. (Take the speed of sound in air to be v = 343 m/s.)
(a) What is the speed of the insect? m/s(b) Will the bat be able to catch the insect?
YesNo
Explain.
Topic: Doppler Effect
Q. Explain how the frequency allows the speed of an object to be determined?
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
