A stationary source is emitting sound at a fixed frequency f 0 , which is reflected by two cars approaching the source. The difference between the frequencies of sound reflected from the cars is 1.2% of f 0 . What is the difference in the speeds of the cars (in km per hour) to the nearest integer ? The cars are moving at constant speeds much smaller than the speed of sound which is 330 ms -1 .

Answer:
7.00
Solution:

Letv1andv2be the velocities of sources, then apparent frequencies are

f1=c+v1c-v1f0andf2=c+v2c-v2f0

Then difference between frequencies is,

f=2vCf0 c>>v1&c>>v2 

v=7 kmph.
