A source emits sound of frequency \(f_{s}=500\ \text{Hz}\). An observer moves towards the source at \(10\ \text{m s}^{-1}\) while the source moves towards the observer at an unknown speed \(v_{s}\). The observer hears a frequency that is exactly twice the emitted frequency. (Take the speed of sound in air as \(c=340\ \text{m s}^{-1}\).) Determine the speed \(v_{s}\) of the source. Then, if the source were stationary and the observer moved towards it at \(10\ \text{m s}^{-1}\), what frequency would the observer hear? Give your answer to one decimal place.

Answer Options

A. v_s = 180 m\/s; observed frequency = 530.2 Hz
B. v_s = 150 m\/s; observed frequency = 500.0 Hz
Correct Answer C. v_s = 165 m/s; observed frequency = 514.7 Hz
D. v_s = 140 m\/s; observed frequency = 485.6 Hz
Correct Answer
C
Correct Option:
v_s = 165 m/s; observed frequency = 514.7 Hz
