Question
An ambulance moving with a speed of 31.0 Km/h is emitting a sound of 850 Hz as it approaches a sound reflecting wall. Find the frequency of the reflected sound heard by a person driving the ambulance.
Expert Solution
Step 1
speed of ambulance is vs 31.0 km/h
v s= 31.0 x 5/18 m/s .
v s= 8.61 m/s .
The frequency of sound emitted by the ambulance is fo = 850 Hz.
speed of sound in air is v = 344 m/s .
