Sound and Ultrasound Questions
1)A bat sends out signals with a frequency
of 20 000Hz.
a) If the wavelength of the sound wave is
200m, how fast does it travel?
b) It fires the signal at a rock 10m away, how long will it take to receive the signal?
c) Another bat sends out a signal with a frequency of 20 500Hz. Is this a lower or higher pitched signal?
2) A sound wave is sent out from a loud speaker and reflected off a wall 5m away. It takes 3s to hear the sound.
a)What is the total distance travelled?
b)What is its speed?
c)The wavelength is 0.3m, what is its frequency?
3) In a 12 week scan, the ultrasound had a frequency of 2MHz. The speed of sound is 300m/s.
a)If the depth of the womb is 5cm, how long would it take for sound to reach the baby?
b) How long would it take the signal to reach the detector?
