Standing at a crosswalk, you hear a frequency of 560 Hz from the siren of an approaching ambulance, After the ambulance passes, the observed frequency of the siren is 480 Hz. Determine the ambulance's speed from these observations. Speed of sound `=343(m)/(s)`.

An ambulance is traveling down a highway at 34.5 ms^(-1) . The ambulance having siren emits sound of frequency 380 Hz. If a passenger in a car travelling with the speed of 26.4 ms^(-1) in the opposite direction as the car approaches the ambulance and after the two vehicles passed each other, then find the frequency heared by that passenger. Take speed of sound in air is 343 ms^(-1)

An observer is standing 500 m away from a vertical hill. Starting between the observer and the hill, a police van sounding a siren of frequency 1000 Hz moves towards the hill with a uniform speed. If the frequency of the sound heard directly from the siren is 970 Hz, the frequency of the sound heard after reflection from the hill (in Hz) is about,(velocity of sound = 330ms^-1
