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.

Consider a mixture of 2 mol of helium and 4 mol of oxygen. Compute the speed of sound in this gas mixture at 300 K.
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.
A sound source and listener are both stationary and a strong wind is blowing. Is there a Doppler effect?
