Chapter 17, Problem 78PQ
Female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes emit a buzz at about 4.00×102 Hz, whereas male A. aegypti mosquitoes typically emit a buzz at about 6.00×102 Hz. As a female mosquito is approaching a stationary male mosquito, is it possible that he mistakes the female for a male because of the Doppler shift of the sound she emits? How fast would the female have to be traveling relative to the male for him to make this mistake? Assume the speed of sound in the air is 343 m/s.

The speed vs of sound in air depends on the air temperature, but assume the value is 343 m/s. The speed of light c is 3.00 108 m/s. a. A child sees the lightning and then counts to eight slowly before hearing the thunder. Assume the light travel time is negligible. Estimate the distance to the lightning strike. b. Using your estimate in part (a), find the light travel time. Is it fair to neglect the light travel time? c. Think about how time was measured in this problem.

Since crickets are ectotherms (cold-blooded), the rate of their philosophical processes and their overall metabolism are influenced by temperature. Consequently, there is a reason to believe that temperature would have a profound affect on aspects of their behavior, such as chirp frequency. In general, it was found that crickets did not sing at temperatures colder than 60°F or warmer than 100°F. In the following data let X= chirps/sec for the striped ground cricket and Y= temperature in degrees of Fahrenheit.
