Question

Transcribed Image Text:Two train whistles have identical frequencies of 165 Hz. When one train is at rest in the station and the other is moving nearby, a commuter standing on the station
platform hears beats with a frequency of 4.30 beats/s when the whistles operate together. What are the two possible speeds and directions the moving train can
have?
slower speed
m/s towards the station
faster speed
m/s away from the station
