Question

tates with an angular velocity of 0.800 rad/s. A stationary listener is located at a distance from the carousel. The speed of sound is 350 m/s. The longest wavelength reaching the listener from the sirens is closest to A carousel that is 5.00 m in radius has a pair of 600-Hz sirens mounted on posts at opposite ends of a diameter. The carousel rotates with an angular velocity of 0.800 rad/s. A stationary listener is located at a distance from the carousel. The speed of sound is 350 m/s. The longest wavelength reaching the listener from the sirens is closest to 59.6 cm. 58.3 cm. 57.0 cm. 57.7 cm. 59.0 cm.

Answer 1

Answer:

59cm

Explanation:

angular velocity = 0.8 rad/s

linear velocity = angular velocity * radius

                        =0.8rad/s * 5m

                        = 4 m/s

wavelength = (V + U)/F

where,

V is the velocity of the wave

U is the velocity of the source

F is the frequency of the source.

wavelength = (350 m/s + 4 m/s ) / 600 Hz

Wavelength = 0.59m or 59 cm
