Question
A driver travels northbound on a highway at a speed of 20.0 m/s. A police
car, traveling southbound at a speed of 38.0 m/s, approaches with its siren
producing sound at a frequency of 2500 Hz.
(a) What frequency does the driver observe as the police car approaches?
(b) What frequency does the driver detect after the police car passes him?
