A police car equipped with a siren of frequency \(f = 800\,\text{Hz}\) moves directly towards a stationary observer. The temperature of the air is \(25^{\circ}\text{C}\). The observer measures the frequency of the siren as \(880\,\text{Hz}\).\n\n(i) Calculate the speed of the police car (in m\,s^{-1}, to one decimal place).\n\n(ii) If the air temperature rises to \(35^{\circ}\text{C}\) while the car continues at the same speed, what frequency will the observer now hear? Give your answer to one decimal place in hertz.

Answer Options

A. Speed = 33.2 m\/s; new observed frequency = 876.0 Hz
B. Speed = 28.0 m\/s; new observed frequency = 882.0 Hz
C. Speed = 30.0 m\/s; new observed frequency = 880.0 Hz
Correct Answer D. Speed = 31.5 m/s; new observed frequency = 878.5 Hz
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
Speed = 31.5 m/s; new observed frequency = 878.5 Hz
