To solve this problem we will use the concept of the Doppler effect applied to the speed of blood, the speed of sound in the blood and the original frequency. This relationship will also be extrapolated to the frequency given by the detector and measured the change in frequencies through the beat frequency. So:
Where
= Frequency of the blood flow
f = Frequency of the original signal
= Speed of the blood flow
= Speed of sound in blood
Now calculating the beat frequency is
Replacing this latest value we have that,
Replacing we have,
Therefore the beat frequency is 136.36Hz
