That is the Sigma Symbol. It’s the addition of a sequence of numbers; the result is the sum of the total. if numbers are added sequentially from left to right, any intermediate result is a partial sum, prefix sum, or running total of the summation
f' = frequency observed by the police car after sound reflected from the vehicle and comes back to police car = 1250 Hz
f = frequency emitted by the police car = 1200 Hz
V = speed of sound = 340 m/s
v = speed of vehicle = ?
frequency observed by the police car is given as
f' = f (V + v)/(V - v)
inserting the values in the above equation
1250 = 1200 (340 + v)/(340 - v)
v = 6.9 m/s

At the Earth's surface, warm air expands and rises, creating
what is known as an area of low pressure.
Cold air is dense and sinks to the surface to create what is
known as an area of high pressure.</span>
Answer:
"It will be more than the speed of sound waves in air at 20*C and water at 20*C."
Explanation:
Speed of sound in a medium depends upon the density and elasticity of the medium.
If the elasticity of a medium is greater and the density of that medium is lower, sound will travel faster. Although density is also a factor but the major factor is Elasticity.
Hence, sound travel faster in solids than in liquids and even slower in gases due to elasticity difference.
That is why the speed of sound in glass will be more than the speed of sound waves in air at 20*C and water at 20*C.
