A police car moving directly towards a stationary observer emits a siren of frequency 800 Hz. The speed of sound in air is 340 m s⁻¹. (i) If the observer hears a frequency of 880 Hz, determine the speed of the police car. (ii) After the car passes the observer and moves away with the same speed, what frequency does the observer hear? (iii) Suppose instead that while the car moves towards the observer at that speed, the observer is on a train moving towards the car at 20 m s⁻¹. What frequency is now heard by the observer?

Answer Options

A. vs ≈ 28 m s⁻¹; receding frequency ≈ 750 Hz; moving observer frequency ≈ 910 Hz
B. vs ≈ 35 m s⁻¹; receding frequency ≈ 720 Hz; moving observer frequency ≈ 950 Hz
C. vs ≈ 40 m s⁻¹; receding frequency ≈ 700 Hz; moving observer frequency ≈ 970 Hz
Correct Answer D. vs ≈ 31 m s⁻¹; receding frequency ≈ 733 Hz; moving observer frequency ≈ 931 Hz
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
vs ≈ 31 m s⁻¹; receding frequency ≈ 733 Hz; moving observer frequency ≈ 931 Hz
