Define the frequency of a sound wave.
A sound wave travels through air. Describe the motion of the air particles compared with the direction in which the sound wave travels.
Use Fig. 5.1 to find the frequency of the sound wave. The $y$-axis setting is $5.0\ \text{mV cm}^{-1}$ and the time-base setting is $0.50\ \text{ms cm}^{-1}$.
The horn of the car sounds continuously. Describe the changes to the trace seen on the c.r.o. as the car travels at constant speed directly towards the stationary microphone.
