Doppler Shift

Doppler Shift. + observer moving towards, - observer moving away, source moving towards, + source moving away. v = speed of sound v o = observer speed v s = source speed. A car is approaching an observer at 30 m/s and sounds its horn at 500 Hz. What frequency does the observer hear?

Presentation Transcript

  1. Doppler Shift + observer moving towards, - observer moving away, source moving towards, + source moving away. v = speed of sound vo = observer speed vs = source speed

  2. A car is approaching an observer at 30 m/s and sounds its horn at 500 Hz. What frequency does the observer hear? 548 Hz

  3. If the observer is driving at 30 m/s towards a stationary car which is sounding its horn, what frequency will the moving car hear? 544 Hz

  4. Sonic Boom • Have you personally heard a sonic boom? A. Yes B. I think so D. No

  5. Sonic Boom Describe to your neighbor(s) 1. What it sounded like 2. What you think causes a sonic boom

  6. Sonic Boom Mach Number: Speed / Speed of Sound Mach 1: v = 343 m/s Mach 2: v = 686 m/s What would Mach 0.5 be? ~170 m/s

  7. Sonic Boom

  9. Harmonics and perception

  10. Standing Waves Superposition Creates Standing Waves Two sinusoidal waves traveling in opposite directions add to create a standing wave.

  11. The Fundamental – the longest wavelength that will fit on a string. Also known as the 1st harmonic 2nd Harmonic

  12. f = v/l 1st harmonic l1 = 2L 2nd harmonic l2 = L 3rd harmonic l3 = 2/3L 4th harmonic l4 = 1/2L Nth harmonic ln = 2L/n so f = nv/(2L)
