Question
Explanation / Answer
Problem 2:
a) When the source is moving towards a observer at rest
f1' = f[v/(v - vs)] -----------------(1)
When the source is moving away from the observer at rest
f2’= f[v/(v + vs)]-------------------(2)
divide (1) and (2)
f1'/ f2’= {f[v/(v - vs)]}/{ f[v/(v +vs)]} = {[v/(v - vs)]}/{[v/(v + vs)]}
550/450 = {[343/(343 - vs)]}/{[343/(343 + vs)]} => vs = 34.3 m/s
b) As the police siren approaches period of sound waves decreases which results in increases in frequency since f= 1/T
Similarly,
As the police siren recedes period of sound waves inreases which results in decreases in frequency since f= 1/T
f1' = f[v/(v - vs)]
550 = f[343/(343-34.3)] => f= 495 Hz
