Question:

The difference between two audible frequencies is about 4 Hz. If one frequency and the speed of sound is 340 m/s, the other frequency might be about

Show Hint

To solve Doppler Effect problems, remember that the observed frequency changes based on relative motion, and you can add or subtract the frequency difference accordingly.

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

We can use the Doppler Effect formula to estimate the frequencies. If we know the difference in frequencies and the speed of sound, we can find the other frequency. Given that the difference is 4 Hz and the speed of sound is 340 m/s, solving for the other frequency gives: \[ f_2 = f_1 + \Delta f \] where \( f_1 = 340 \, {Hz} \) and \( \Delta f = 4 \, {Hz} \). Thus, the second frequency is: \[ f_2 = 340 + 4 = 375 \, {Hz} \] Hence, the correct answer is (d).
