Answer to Question #335392 in Physics for Franxz

Question

A sound sour moving at a constant speed of 249 m/s towards a detector, emits sound at a constant frequency of 5,100 Hz. Take the speed of sound in the air as 340 m/s. Calculate the wavelength of the sound emitted by the source

Answer 1

The Doppler's effect equation says

$$f=f_0\frac{c}{c-v}=5100*\frac{340}{340-249}=19055\:\rm Hz$$

The wavelength

$$\lambda=\frac{c}{f}=\frac{340}{19055}=0.018\:\rm m$$
