$500 Question from C4
Imagine that you are standing beside a train track.A train blowing its whistle approaches , passes you, and then moves away. In a few sentences describe: How the sound you hear changes as the train moves.Why the frequency of the sound changes and how this change affects the pitch you hear.
$500 Answer from C4As the train approaches, the pitch of its whistle goes up. The pitch then goes down as the train moves away. This change in pitch is called the Doppler Effect. As the train approaches, it catches up with the sound waves, so the waves come close together, increasing the frequency and making the pitch higher. As the train moves away, the waves are farther apat, so the frequency and the pitch decrease.

$500 Question from C5
A tuba and a string bass both make sounds with low pitches. The two instruments sound very different, though. In a few sentences, describe what is the same and different about the instruments. Be sure to use the words wavelength, frequency, and overtones in your answer.
$500 Answer from C5A tuba produces sound by creating a columnof air to vibrate. A string bass produces soundthrough a vibrating string. Both instruments create sound with the same wavelengths andfrequencies, because their pitches are similar. However, the pitches have different overtones,so the instruments don’t have the same sound quality.
