A source S1 of frequency 600 \(\text{Hz}\) moves directly towards a stationary observer O with speed 30 \(\text{m/s}\). At the same time a second identical source S2 is fixed and also emits 600 \(\text{Hz}\). The observer moves away from the sources with speed u (unknown). The speed of sound in air is 340 \(\text{m/s}\). The observer hears a beat frequency of 50 \(\text{Hz}\). Determine the speed u of the observer (in \(\text{m/s}\), to two decimal places).

Answer Options

Correct Answer A. u \approx 47.22 \(\text{m/s}\)
B. u \approx 52.30 \(\text{m\/s}\)
C. u \approx 39.80 \(\text{m\/s}\)
D. u \approx 42.15 \(\text{m\/s}\)
Correct Answer
A
Correct Option:
u \approx 47.22 \(\text{m/s}\)
