Wavelength = v/f Wavelength = 343/512 Wavelength = .67 m 32. A sound wave that has a higher frequency has a wavelength that is (shorter / longer ). 33. The Doppler effect occurs when a source of sound moves (toward you / away from you / both ).

34. As the sound of a car's horn passes and recedes from you, the frequency of the horn seems to ( increase / decrease ). 35. When an ambulance is moving towards you, the frequencies of the sound waves are (lower /higher ) and the wavelength is ( longer / shorter ). 36. The Doppler shift changes the ( frequency / speed ) & ( amplitude / wavelength ) of a wave. 37. What is the Doppler effect? The change in observed frequency due to the motion of the source or observer.

38. An echo is heard in 6.5 seconds after “What’s Up” is yelled down a canyon. How far did the sound wave travel? (Assume temperature of air is 20o C)? (Use the t = d/v) d = t x v d = 6.5 x 343 (speed of sound at 20o C) d = 2229.5 m 39. Calculate the speed of sound in air that is 35OC. V = 331 + .6 x Temp. V = 331 + .6 x 35 V = 331 + 21 = 352 m/s

40. Which of the following would be most likely to transmit sound with the highest speed? a. Steel b. wood c. water 41. The speed of a sound wave depends on the medium. The phenomenon of beats results from sound ( reflection / refraction/ interference ). 43. For sound, loudness is a measure of the waves ( tone / amplitude / equilibrium ).
