Question Number 35881 by NECx last updated on 25/May/18

A train travelling at 30m/s ,  approaching a stationary observer  emits a tone at a frequency of 480Hz.  If the speed of sound is 330m/s,  determine the frequency of the  note the observer hears.

f^′ =f(v/(v−v_s ))=480×((330)/(330−30))  f′=((480×330)/(300))  =48×11=528

$${f}^{'} ={f}\frac{{v}}{{v}−{v}_{{s}} }=\mathrm{480}×\frac{\mathrm{330}}{\mathrm{330}−\mathrm{30}} \\ $$$${f}'=\frac{\mathrm{480}×\mathrm{330}}{\mathrm{300}} \\ $$$$=\mathrm{48}×\mathrm{11}=\mathrm{528} \\ $$
