Answer:
A) 1568.60 Hz
B) 1437.15 Hz
Explanation:
This change is frequency happens due to doppler effect
The Doppler effect is the change in frequency of a wave in relation to an observer who is moving relative to the wave source
where
C = the propagation speed of waves in the medium;
Vr= is the speed of the receiver relative to the medium,(added to C, if the receiver is moving towards the source, subtracted if the receiver is moving away from the source;
Vs= the speed of the source relative to the medium, added to C, if the source is moving away from the receiver, subtracted if the source is moving towards the receiver.
A) Here the Source is moving towards the receiver(C-Vs)
and the receiver is standing still (Vr=0) therefore the observed frequency should get higher
B)Here the Source is moving away the receiver(C+Vs)
and the receiver is still not moving (Vr=0) therefore the observed frequency should be lesser
