[Given: The speed of sound in air is ]

Consider both sources emitting sound. When is at and approaches the detector with a speed , the beat frequency measured by the detector is ____ Hz.

Answer: 8.2

Solution

When is at R (diametrically opposite to P), it is moving perpendicular to RP, so no radial component. The frequency from at P is: Hz.

When approaches P with speed 4 m/s, the frequency from is:
Hz.

Beat frequency: Hz.
