By comparing the frequency of a received echo with the known frequency of the emitted sound, SONAR units on submarines can determine the locations and velocities of other ships. Suppose a submarine that is virtually at rest emits a pulse of sound at a frequency f through water at the speed of sound v. What would be the frequency detected by a fast surface vessel, receeding at a speed of 0.08 v?

(a) Seismographs measure the arrival times of earthquakes with a precision of 0.100 s. To get the distance to the epicenter of the quake, geologists compare the arrival times of S- and P-waves, which travel at different speeds. If S- and P-waves travel at 4.00 and 7.20 km/s, respectively, in the region considered, how precisely can the distance to the source of the earthquake be determined? (b) Seismic waves from underground detonations of nuclear bombs can be used to locate the test site and detect violations of test bans. Discuss whether your answer to (a) implies a serious limit to such detection. (Note also that the uncertainty is greater if there is an uncertainty in the propagation speeds of the S- and P-waves.)
