Two cars are approaching each other at an equal speed of 7 . 2 km hr - 1 . When they see each other, both blow horns having a frequency of 676 Hz . The beat frequency heard by each driver will be _______ Hz . [Velocity of sound in air is 340 m s - 1 .
Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
Frequency of sound heard by car- 1 , which comes by reflection from car- 2 f 1 = f 0 340 + 2 340 - 2 340 + 2 340 - 2 = f 0 342 338 2 Frequency of sound coming directly from car- 2 f 2 = f 0 340 + 2 340 - 2 ∴     f 1 - f 2 = f 0 342 338 342 338 - 1 = 8 . 09 ≃ 8   Hz
