A train sounding a horn emits a frequency of \(f_{0}\) Hz in the rest frame. When the train approaches a stationary observer, the observer hears a frequency of \(960\ \text{Hz}\). After the train passes and recedes, the observer hears \(720\ \text{Hz}\). The speed of sound in air is \(340\ \text{m s}^{-1}\). Determine (a) the speed of the train in \(\text{m s}^{-1}\) and (b) the original emitted frequency \(f_{0}\) in hertz.

Answer Options

A. Speed ≈ 55 m/s, emitted frequency ≈ 900 Hz
Correct Answer B. Speed ≈ 49 m/s, emitted frequency ≈ 823 Hz
C. Speed ≈ 42 m/s, emitted frequency ≈ 750 Hz
D. Speed ≈ 60 m/s, emitted frequency ≈ 650 Hz
Correct Answer
B
Correct Option:
Speed ≈ 49 m/s, emitted frequency ≈ 823 Hz
