Question
A police car is approaching you at 26 m/s while you are at rest. The rest frequency of the siren is 1000 Hz. The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.
What frequency do you observe for the siren as the police car is approaching?
Expert Solution

Step 1
Given data:
Source is approaching to observer
Observer at rest
Velocity of the source (vs) = 26 m/s
Velocity of sound waves (v) = 343 m/s
Actual frequency (f) = 1000 Hz
Required:
Observed frequency (f')
