A train of length `l` is moving with a constant speed v circular track of radius R, the engine of the train emits a whistle of frequency `f_(0)`. Find the frequency heard by a guard at the rear end of the train.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
f
`f_("guard")=f_(o)((v+v_(s))/(v+v_(s)))=f_(o)`
