Answer:
The frequency heard is 576.78 Hz
Explanation:
The Doppler effect is defined as the apparent frequency change of a wave produced by the relative movement of the source with respect to its observer. In other words, this effect is the change in the perceived frequency of any wave motion when the sender and receiver, or observer, move relative to each other.
This is what happens in the first part of this problem, where the sender is train A and the receiver is train B. They are both moving in opposite directions. In this case, where both are in motion, the frequency perceived by the receiver will increase when receiver and transmitter increase their separation distance and will decrease whenever the separation distance between them is reduced. The following expression is considered the general case of the Doppler effect:
Where:
f ', f: Frequency perceived by the receiver and frequency emitted by the issuer respectively. Its unit of measurement in the International System (S.I.) is the hertz (Hz), which is the inverse unit of the second (1 Hz = 1 s-1)
v: Velocity of propagation of the wave in the medium. It is constant and depends on the characteristics of the medium. In this case, the speed of sound in air is considered to be 343 m / s
vR, vE: Speed of the receiver and the emitter respectively. Its unit of measure in the S.I. is the m / s
±, ∓:
We will use the + sign:
- In the numerator if the receiver approaches the emitter
- In the denominator if the emitter moves away from the receiver
We will use the sign -:
- In the numerator if the receiver moves away from the emitter
- In the denominator if the emitter approaches the receiver
In this case you are in a car traveling at 20 m/s and an ambulance is behind you traveling 35 m/s in the same direction.
In this case the receiver, you in the car, moves away from the emitter, while the emitter, the ambulance, approaches the receiver behind you in the same direction. So the frequency is calculated by the expression:
Being:
- f= 550 Hz
- v=343 m/s
- vR= 20 m/s
- vE= 35 m/s
and replacing:
you get:
f'= 576.78 Hz
The frequency heard is 576.78 Hz
