Question

A 2.00MHz2.00 \mathrm{MHz} sound wave travels through a pregnant woman's abdomen and is reflected from the fetal heart wall of her unborn baby. The heart wall is moving toward the sound receiver as the heart beats. The reflected sound is then mixed with the transmitted sound, and 8585 beats per second are detected. The speed of sound in body tissue is 1500 m/s1500 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}. Calculate the speed of the fetal heart wall at the instant this measurement is made.

We define the heart wall as the listener and then as the source of sound. We are dealing with a moving source and a stationary observer, so we use the Doppler effect for the shifted frequency which is expressed by Equation 12.19:

fL=v+vLv+vsfs\begin{align*} f_{\text{L}} = \frac{v + v_{\text{L}}}{v + v_{\text{s}}} f_{\text{s}} \end{align*}

In this case, we consider two scenarios where (1) the heart wall is the one receiving the sound and (2) the heart wall is the one emitting the sound.
