Q.

A train approaching a railway crossing at a speed of 120 km/h sounds a short whistle at frequency 640 Hz when it is 300 m away from the crossing. The speed of sound in air is 340 m/s. What will be the frequency (in Hz ) heard by a person standing on a road perpendicular to the track through the crossing at a distance of 400 m from the crossing?

Detailed Solution

From the geometry of the figure  cos⁡θ=35  The frequency heard by the person  f′=fvv−vscos⁡θ  Here  vs=120×518=33.3m/s ∴ f′=640×340340−33.3×35=680Hz
