An airplane traveling at one third the speed of sound (i.e., 114 m/s) emits a sound of frequency 3.72 kHz. At what frequency does a stationary listener hear the sound as the plane approaches? Answer in units of kHz.

Answer:

f'=5.58kHz

Explanation:

This is an example of the Doppler effect, the formula is:

[tex]f'=\frac{(v+v_o)}{(v+v_s)}f[/tex]

Where f is the actual frequency, [tex]f'[/tex] is the observed frequency, [tex]v[/tex] is the velocity of the sound waves, [tex]v_o[/tex] the velocity of the observer (which is negative if the observer is moving away from the source)  and [tex]v_s[/tex] the velocity of the source  (which is negative if is moving towards the observer). For this problem:

[tex]f=3.72kHz\\v=342m/s\\v_o=0m/s\\v_s=-114m/s[/tex]

[tex]f'=\frac{(342+0)}{(342-114)}3.72\times10^3\\f'=\frac{342}{228}3.72\times10^3\\f'=(1.5)3.72\times10^3\\f'=5580Hz=5.58kHz[/tex]
