*this is the full question not the answer* Suppose you’re standing on a sidewalk and down the street is an ambulance parked; it’s siren is a 600 Hz sound like it louder, Quieter, louder, quieter, etc. By now, you should understand that if the ambulance drivers toward you the pitch will be higher than 600 Hz. BUT HOW MUCH HIGHER? The amount is directly proportional to speed!(this means waves can be used as a speedometer!) here’s a fact: if the ambulance approached you at 8.5 m/s, the pitch would raise by 15 Hz: you would here 615 Hz instead of 600. But if the ambulance came at you twice as fast— 8.5+8.5=17.0 m/s — The pitch would raise by 30 Hz, you were here at 630 Hz sound. Question: do use the facts given above to answer this:The ambulance is moving toward you and your sound technology measures the pitch at 645 hertz. The speed of the ambulance is therefore ______ m/s.

The speed of the ambulance can be calculated using the formula: speed = (345 m/s) * ((f_observed / f_source) - 1), where f_source = 645 Hz and f_observed = 345 Hz. Plugging in the values, the speed of the ambulance moving towards you is 172.5 m/s.

Why does a paramedic in an ambulance doesn't experience the Doppler effect the siren?

If the ambulance was moving either towards you or away from you it would exhibit the Doppler effect.I.E. Higher pitch if it was moving towards you and lower pitch if it was moving away from you.The change is most noticeable if the vehicle passes you. Presumably more noticeable with lower frequencies than higher frequencies.

Why are variances calculated?

Variances are calculated for various reasons. Here is an example of why: A geologist wants to know where the North American Plate is moving. He measures the position one year. When he re-measures on the same spot he did the previous year, he finds that the new data is 1 inch west of his original measurment. Therefore, he now knows the North American plate is moving west at a rate of 1 inch per year.


What is the sound or pitch when an ambulance goes by?

This is the doppler effect. If an ambulance is driving towards Jon, the sound waves are tightly stacked in front of the ambulance and are heard by Jon at a high frequency (high pitch). But behind the ambulance the sound waves are lagging because the ambulance is driving away from they sound waves (they are moving in the opposite direction) thus if Jon was standing behind the ambulance the frequency heard would be low (low pitch). The actual sound an ambulance makes is actually obnoxious, and if 100 of them drive by someone's apartment each day, it will make their head hurt and they will often think about why ambulances are so annoying.
