A source of sound emits a frequency of \(500\ \text{Hz}\) in air where the speed of sound is \(340\ \text{m·s}^{-1}\). An observer moves directly towards the source with a speed of \(20\ \text{m·s}^{-1}\) while the source simultaneously moves directly away from the observer with a speed of \(10\ \text{m·s}^{-1}\). (a) Calculate the frequency heard by the observer. (b) A second stationary source emits a frequency of \(540\ \text{Hz}\). Determine the beat frequency heard by the moving observer.

Answer Options

A. Observed frequency = 530 Hz; Beat frequency = 10 Hz
B. Observed frequency = 560 Hz; Beat frequency = 20 Hz
Correct Answer C. Observed frequency = 545 Hz; Beat frequency = 5 Hz
D. Observed frequency = 545 Hz; Beat frequency = 15 Hz
Correct Answer
C
Correct Option:
Observed frequency = 545 Hz; Beat frequency = 5 Hz
