The horn of a car emits sound with a dominant frequency of 2400 Hz. What will be the apparent dominant frequency heard by a person standing on the road in front of the car if the car is approaching at 18.0 km/h? Speed of sound in air = 340 m/s.
A car moving at 108 km h−1 finds another car in front of it going in the same direction at 72 km h−1. The first car sounds a horn that has a dominant frequency of 800 Hz. What will be the apparent frequency heard by the driver in the front car? Speed of sound in air =330ms−1
A person riding a car moving at 72 km/h sounds a whistle emitting a wave of frequency 1250 Hz. What frequency will be heard by another person standing an the road (a) in front of the car (b) behind the car ? Speed of sound in air = 340 m/s.
