On the planet Arrakis, an ornk is flying toward a fellow stationary ornk at 25 m/s while singing at a frequency of 1200 Hz. If the second ornk hears a tone of 1240 Hz, what is the speed of sound in the atmosphere of Arrakis?

Respuesta :

Answer:

775 m/s

Explanation:

v = Velocity of sound

f' = Observed frequency = 1240 Hz

f = Actual frequency = 1200 Hz

[tex]v_s[/tex] = Relative speed of the train = 25 m/s

From the Doppler effect we get the relation

[tex]f'=f\frac{v}{v-v_s}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{f'v_s}{f'-f}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{1240\times 25}{1240-1200}\\\Rightarrow v=775\ m/s[/tex]

The speed of sound in the atmosphere of Arrakis is 775 m/s

Answer:

The speed of sound in the atmosphere of Arrakis is 775 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Frequency f= 1200 Hz

Second frequency f' = 1240 Hz

Speed = 25 m/s

We need to calculate the speed of sound in the atmosphere of Arrakis

Using formula of frequency

[tex]f'=\dfrac{v}{v-v_{s}}f[/tex]

[tex]f'(v-v_{s})=vf[/tex]

[tex]v=\dfrac{f'v_{s}}{f'-f}[/tex]

Where, [tex]v_{s}[/tex] = speed of the sound

v = speed of the listener

Put the value into the formula

[tex]v=(\dfrac{1240\times25}{1240-1200})[/tex]

[tex]v=775\ m/s[/tex]

Hence, The speed of sound in the atmosphere of Arrakis is 775 m/s.
