Physics Question on doppler effect
speeds of 20m/s and 15m/s relative to the ground. The first train sounds a whistle of frequency 600Hz. The frequency of the whistle heard by a passenger in the second train before the train meets, is (the speed of sound in air is 340 m/s)
A
600 Hz
B
585 Hz
C
645 Hz
D
666 Hz
Answer
666 Hz
Explanation
Solution
The frequency of whistle heard by passenger in the train B, is
n=(v−vsv+v0)
=600(340−20340+15)≈666Hz
