Question

A car speeds past you sounding its horn at a frequency of 1000Hz. The frequency you hear:

Answer 1

Answer:

f' =1064.1025 Hz

Explanation:

We know that from doppler's effect

$f'=\frac{v+v_0}{v-v_s}f$

f'= observed frequency

f= actual frequency =1000 Hz

v= velocity of sound waves = 332 m/s

v_o= velocity of observer =0

v_s= velocity of source. ( let velocity of car be 20 m/s)

therefore,

$f'=\frac{332+0}{332-20}\times1000$

f' =1064.1025 Hz
