What is the frequency heard by a person driving at 15 m/s toward a blowing factory whistle (800. Hz) if the speed of sound is 340. 6 m/s?



Answer :

The frequency heard by a person is 835.29 Hz.

We are given that,

Speed of sound = v = 340.6m/s

Speed of person = Vd = 15m/s

Upon approaching the source of the sound, frequency will be given by

f'=f(Vd+ v)/v

Where f is the source frequency, Vd is the vehicle's speed, v is the sound-traveling speed in air, and f' is the known frequency when moving forward if f is replaced with 800 Hz, v with 340 m/s, and Vd with 15 m/s, then

f'=800(15+340)/340

f'=835.29Hz

The frequency is 835.29 Hz when rounded off.
