How can you tell? b) If you heard a 300-Hz tone with a sound level of 60 dB, approximately how many phons would you perceive? toward you with a speed v, starting a distance of 1 km away att 0. If the train moves very slowly (that is, v is extremely small compared to the speed of sound in air), then at what time tss will you hear a sound of 55 phons? c) A train blowing a 400 Hz whistle at 100 dB (as measured at a distance of 1 m) is moving (~340 m/s), but its whistle still has an emitted frequency of 400 Hz and it still produces a sound level of 100 dB at 1 m. If you perceive a sound of 45 phons when the train is at a distance of 1 km from you, what is its speed v? d) Suppose now that the train in part c) is moving at a significant fraction of the speed of sound
