A bus standing at a bus stand blows a horn 300 Hz in still air. The speed of sound in still air = 340 m/s.
Determine :
(i) the frequency of the horn heard by a man running away fro the bus at 8 m/s and speed of sound in this case.
(ii) wavelength of sound received by the man.

Let's solve the problem step by step. ### Given Data: - Frequency of the horn (f_s) = 300 Hz - Speed of sound in still air (V) = 340 m/s - Speed of the observer (V_o) = 8 m/s (since the man is running away from the bus, this is positive) - Speed of the source (V_s) = 0 m/s (since the bus is stationary) ...
