A car, sounding its horn, is moving at v. =158.4km / h directly toward a stationary wall in still air. The speed of sound, in the air, is v=330.0 m/s. The horn produces sound at a frequency of f. =1000.Hz (ie. if the car were stationary, that is the frequency you would hear). a) What frequency is heard by an observer at rest at the wall (assume the car is moving straight toward the observer)? b.)
