Assignment 15.1 Properties & Detection of Sound Short Answer: Answer each question in the space provided. Write or print clearly. IF I CAN T READ IT, IT S WRONG. 1. 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. The speed of sound increases by about 0.6 m/s for each degree Celsius when the air temperature rises. For a given sound, as the temperature increases, what happens to the following? A) the frequency B) the wavelength
5. In a science fiction movie, a satellite blows up. The crew of a nearby ship immediately hears and sees the explosion.

A) the frequency B) the wavelength C) the wave velocity D) the amplitude of the wave Problems: Solve each of the following problems. Show all work. Circle your answer expressed with the correct number of significant figures and units. 7. You hear the sound of the firing of a distant cannon 5.0 s after seeing the flash. How far are you from the cannon? 8. If you shout across a canyon and hear an echo 3.0 s later, how wide is the canyon?
