A source of sound emits a frequency of 500 Hz and moves directly towards a stationary observer with a speed of 30 m s^{-1}. At the same time the observer moves directly away from the source with a speed of 20 m s^{-1}. The speed of sound in air is 340 m s^{-1}. (i) Calculate the frequency heard by the observer. (ii) A second stationary source emits a frequency of 520 Hz. Find the beat frequency heard by the observer.
