How do animals sense impending danger of hurricane?

उत्तर
Hurricane produces a shock wave which has a speed greater than the speed of sound. It travels with a supersonic sound that can be easily sensed by animals using the Doppler effect. The multiple reflections of sound can be easily sensed by animals.

A ship in a sea sends SONAR waves straight down into the seawater from the bottom of the ship. The signal reflects from the deep bottom bedrock and returns to the ship after 3.5 s. After the ship moves to 100 km it sends another signal which returns back after 2 s. Calculate the depth of the sea in each case and also compute the difference in height between two cases.
Two cars moving in opposite directions approach each other with speed of 22 m/s and 16.5 m/s respectively. The driver of the first car blows a horn having a frequency 400 Hz. The frequency heard by the driver of the second car is [velocity of sound 340 m/s]: ____________.
A source of sound is moving towards a stationary observer with velocity 'Vs' and then moves away with velocity 'Vs'. Assume that the medium through which the sound waves travel is at rest, if 'V' is the velocity of sound and 'n' is the frequency emitted by the source, then the difference between the apparent frequencies heard by the observer is ______.
With what velocity an observer should move relative to a stationary source so that a sound of double the frequency of source is heard by an observer?
The frequency of a car horn encountered a change from 400 Hz to 500 Hz, when the car approaches a vertical wall. If the speed of sound is 330 m/s. Then the speed of car is ______ km/h.
A racing car moving towards a cliff sounds its horn. The sound reflected from the cliff has a pitch one octave higher than the actual sound of the horn. If V is the velocity of sound, the velocity of the car is ______.
The pitch of whistle of an engine appears to drop by 30% of the original value when it passes a stationary observer. If speed of sound in air is 350 m/s, then the speed of engine in m/s is ______.
