a bat at rest sends out ultrasonic sound waves at 50.0 khz and receives them returned from an object moving directly away from it at what is the received sound frequency?



Answer :

The recieved sound frequency is 42.5 kHz.

What is frequency of sound?

The way sound waves oscillate as they pass past our ears—alternating between compressing and expanding the medium, which is usually air—determines the sound frequency. All sound waves go through the same medium at the same pace. The Doppler Effect states that while a source or an observer is moving, the frequency of the sound wave varies. Echo is the term for a sound wave's reflection. It varies depending on the media.

Frequency of the sound due to reflection of an object moving away from the bat is given as

f = f' (v - v'/v + v')

v' = 27.5m/s

v = 340m/s

f' = 50KHz

Thus f = 50 (340- 27.5/340 + 27.5) = 42.5KHz

Hence the sound frequency received from the object is 42.5 kHz.
