A train approachign a railway crossing at a speed of `120 kmh^-1` sounds a short whistle at frequency 640 Hz when it is 300 m away from the crossing. The speed of sound in air is `340 ms^-1`. What will be the frequency heard by a person standing on a road perpendicular to the track through the crossing at a distance of 400 m from the crossing ?
