Two submarines are underwater and approaching each other head-on. Sub A has a speed of 12 m/s and sub B has a speed of 8 m/s. Sub A sends out a 1550-Hz sonar wave that travels at a speed of 1522 m/s. What is the frequency detected by sub B?

To find the frequency detected by Submarine B when Submarine A sends out a sonar wave, we can use the Doppler Effect formula for sound waves. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Identify the known values - Speed of sound in water (v) = 1522 m/s - Frequency of the source (f_s) = 1550 Hz - Speed of Submarine A (v_s) = 12 m/s (moving towards Sub B) - Speed of Submarine B (v_o) = 8 m/s (moving towards Sub A) ...
