Doppler effect for multiple sources [closed]

Given the figure below, how can I determine the speed from the two sources given that they both produce a frequency of 1000 Hz, and the speed of sound can be assumed to 340 m/s. The sources are both ...

What is the spectrum of a broken square drum?

Given a square drum with sides length equal to $L$, the squared raised frequencies are $(\pi m/L)^2 + (\pi n/L)^2 $ with $m,n \in \mathbb{N}^*$. Here we have four boundary conditions (no vibration on ...

$0$th overtone in closed organ pipes

I know about $1$st, $2$nd or other overtones in the formula of frequency in a one-sided open system (specifically in closed organ pipes) that is $$ f = \frac{\left( 2 n + 1 \right) v}{4 L} \tag{1} \...

Dimensional Analysis and Linear Correlation

I was introduced to a silly way to derive the 'de broglie formulae': Both $\left(\frac{p}{k}\right)$ and $\left(\frac{E}{\omega}\right)$ have the same dimension, and it has to be $\left(\frac{M \cdot ...

How to find frequency of the resulting wave where amplitude aren't same? [closed]

In the superposition of two coherent waves $($at $x=0$$)$ given by $$y_1=4\sin(300\pi t)$$ and $$y_2=2\sin(308\pi t).$$ Find the frequency of the resulting wave and the frequency at which the ...

What does $\omega$ mean in SHM?

In SHM, $a=- x\omega^2$ and $max(a) = ±A\omega^2$, but what does $\omega$ mean, because i cannot see anything related to circular motion in SHM like to and from motion of a particle on $y$ axis about ...
