When timing the 100 m run, officials at the finish line are instructed to start their stopwatches at the sight of smoke from the starter s pistol and not at the sound of its firing. A) Explain. B) What would happen to the times for the runners if the timing started when sound was heard? 2. Does the Doppler shift occur for only some types of waves or for all types of waves? 3. Sound waves with frequencies higher than can be heard by humans, called ultrasound, can be transmitted through the human body. A) How could ultrasound be used to measure the speed of blood flowing in veins or arteries? B) Explain how the waves change to make this measurement possible. 4.
