Answer from: jbell735

The frequency of the echo received by the bat is 38.8 kHz.

The given parameters:

Speed of the bat, V = 5 m/sActual frequency of the chirp, Fs = 40 kHzSpeed of sound, Vs = 331 m/s

The observed frequency or frequency received by the bat is calculated by applying Doppler effect as follows;

$f_0 = f_s(\frac{v \ +/-\ v_0}{v\ +/- \ v_s} )$

Since the bat is flying away from the wall the frequency received will be smaller than the actual frequency;

$f_o = f_s (\frac{v \ - \ v_0}{v \ + \ v_s} )\\\\f_o = 40 \ kHz \times (\frac{331 - 5}{331 + 5} ) \\\\f_0 = 38.8 \ kHz$

Thus, the frequency of the echo received by the bat is 38.8 kHz.

The answer is below

Explanation:

Firstly, the frequency is received by the wall and then it is reflected and received by the bat.

The frequency received by the wall (f') is given by:

f' = $f(v\pm v_o)/v\\\\$

The - sign is used when the observer is moving away from the source and + sign when the observer is moving towards the source.

Since the bat is moving towards the wall, we use a positive sign. Hence:

f' = $f(v+ v_o)/v\\\\$

The frequency reflected and received by the bat f" is:

f'' = $f'\frac{v}{ (v\pm v_s)}\\\\$

- sign is used when the source moves toward the observer and + is used when the source moves away

since the bat moves towards the wall, then::

f'' = $f'\frac{v}{(v-v_s)} =\frac{f(v+v_o)}{v}*\frac{v}{(v-v_s)} =f\frac{(v+v_o)}{(v-v_s)} \\\\$

v = speed of sound in air = 331 m/s, vo = velocity of observer = 5 m/s, vs = velocity of source = 5 m/s. Therefore:

$f"=f\frac{(v+v_o)}{(v-v_s)} =40\ kHz\frac{(331\ m/s+5\ m/s)}{(331\ m/s+5\ m/s)} \\\\f"=41\ kHz$

Answer from: Quest

the aurora is formed when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. these collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

auroras are generated by charged solar particles hitting molecules in earth's atmosphere. this usually happens in high latitudes, because our planet’s magnetic field tends to funnel these particles toward the poles. that’s why it can be experienced in northern ohio.
