Physics Question on Waves

A train blowing a whistle of frequency 320Hz320 Hz approaches an observer standing on the platform at a speed of 66m/s66 m / s .The frequency observed by the observer will be ____ Hz,
(Given speed of sound =330ms=330 ms ^{-} 1)

Answer

The correct answer is 400

fapp=f(vvvs)f_{app}​=f \left(\frac{v}{v-v_s}\right)
=320(33033066)=320(\frac{330}{330-66}​)
=400Hz=400Hz
