A plane flies toward a stationary siren at 1/4 the speed of sound. Then the plane stands still on the ground and the siren is driven toward it at 1/4 the speed of sound. In both cases, a person sitting in the plane will hear the same frequency of sound from the siren. A plane flies toward a stationary siren at 1/4 the speed of sound. Then the plane stands still on the ground and the siren is driven toward it at 1/4 the speed of sound. In both cases, a person sitting in the plane will hear the same frequency of sound from the siren. True False

The question above is repeated twice.

Removing the repetition, we have:  A plane flies toward a stationary siren at 1/4 the speed of sound. Then the plane stands still on the ground and the siren is driven toward it at 1/4 the speed of sound. In both cases, a person sitting in the plane will hear the same frequency of sound from the siren. True or False?

The correct answer to the question is "False"

Explanation:

The question above, illustrates a phenomenon referred to as "Doppler effect"

The Doppler effect only changes the frequency of the sound which explains how wavelength changes when a wave source is moving toward or away from an object. The Doppler effect occurs when a source of waves and/or observer move relative to each other.

When a sound source is moving toward the observer (a person sitting in the plane) in the case above,  the observer will hear a higher pitch as the source approaches. That is, the plane stands still on the ground and the siren is driven toward it.This is due to a decrease in the amplitude of the sound wave.

However, If the observer moves toward the stationary source, the observed frequency is higher than the source frequency. In this case, A plane flies toward a stationary siren.

λ = v/f = vT,

where T is the period,

The relationship  between frequency, speed, and wavelength is:

f = v/λ

v represents the speed of sound through the medium.

Doppler effect depends on things moving, as the observer moves, the frequency becomes higher as the distance decreases. If the observer moves and the distance becomes larger, it means that the sound frequency becomes lower.

the correct answer is b

bacteria that live on the ocean floor are sustained by phytoplankton. phytoplankton, microscopic marine photosynthetic organisms, have a vastly significant role to play not only in the marine food web of which they’re part of, but also on a more global scale. despite their infinitely small size in comparison to other marine organisms, these tiny creatures occupy an immensely important ecological niche: they are the foundation of the marine food web, and as primary producers, play key roles in supporting all other organisms in the marine environment, as well as in the regulation of the earth’s climate through the sequestration of carbon, oxygen production, and other related processes. phytoplankton account for roughly half of all global primary productivity; therefore, their significance extends far beyond the marine environment alone. there is an intriguing sense of irony in the realization that these tiny living beings that often live out their existence unnoticed and undetected by the rest of the world, have such a far-reaching impact on the lives of virtually all other living organisms on the planet, particularly on those in the marine environment. the world that we have become accustomed to has been and is continuously shaped by the workings of these miniscule yet vital “plants of the sea”.

hope this !
