An observer standing on a railway crossing receives frequency of 2.2 kHzand1.8 kHzwhen the train approaches and recedes from the observer. Find the velocity (inm s-1) of the train. (The speed of the sound in air is300 m s-1.)

Answer:
30.00
Solution:

f 1 = f 0 ( V ± V 0 ) ( V V S ) = f 0 v V V S

When approaches:2.2×103=f0300300-Vs...(i)

When recedes:1.8×103=f0300300+Vs...(ii)

Dividing (i) by (ii)

2 . 2 1 . 8 = 3 0 0 + V S 3 0 0 - V S 4 0 . 4 = 6 0 0 2 V S

VS = 30 m s-1
