Answer:

Explanation:

Speed of the source of sound = v = 44.7 m/s

Speed of sound = V = 343 m/s

a) Apparent  frequency as the train approaches = f =  [V /(V -v) ] × f

= [343 / (343 - 44.7) ] × 415  = 477.18 Hz

Wave length =  λ = v / f = 343 / 477.18 = 0.719 m

b) Frequency heard as the train leaves = f ' =  [V / ( V + v) ] f

                                                                     = [343 / { 343 + 44.7 ) ] x 415

                                                                      = 367.2 Hz

Wavelength when leaving = v / f = 343 / 367.2 = 0.934 m

How do longshore currents shape the land?
Sonbull [250]
Longshore drift has a very powerful influence on the shape and composition of the coastline. It changes the slopes of beaches and creates long, narrow shoals of land called spits, that extend out from shore. Longshore drift may also create or destroy entire “barrier islands” along a shoreline.
