The correct Answer is:
To find the frequency heard by the observer, we can use the Doppler effect formula for sound. The formula for the observed frequency \( f' \) when both the source and observer are moving, and considering the wind speed, is given by: \[ f' = f \cdot \frac{V - V_w - V_o}{V - V_w + V_s} \] Where: - \( f \) = frequency of the source (300 Hz) - \( V \) = speed of sound in air (340 m/s) - \( V_w \) = speed of wind (5 m/s) - \( V_o \) = speed of observer (20 m/s) - \( V_s \) = speed of source (10 m/s) ### Step 1: Identify the parameters - Frequency of the source, \( f = 300 \, \text{Hz} \) - Speed of sound, \( V = 340 \, \text{m/s} \) - Speed of wind, \( V_w = 5 \, \text{m/s} \) - Speed of observer, \( V_o = 20 \, \text{m/s} \) - Speed of source, \( V_s = 10 \, \text{m/s} \) ### Step 2: Substitute the values into the formula Substituting the values into the Doppler effect formula: \[ f' = 300 \cdot \frac{340 - 5 - 20}{340 - 5 + 10} \] ### Step 3: Simplify the numerator and denominator Calculate the numerator: \[ 340 - 5 - 20 = 315 \] Calculate the denominator: \[ 340 - 5 + 10 = 345 \] ### Step 4: Substitute the simplified values back into the formula Now, substitute the simplified values back into the formula: \[ f' = 300 \cdot \frac{315}{345} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the observed frequency Now calculate \( f' \): \[ f' = 300 \cdot 0.913 \] Calculating this gives: \[ f' \approx 273.33 \, \text{Hz} \] ### Final Result The frequency heard by the observer is approximately \( 273.33 \, \text{Hz} \).

To find the frequency heard by the observer, we can use the Doppler effect formula for sound. The formula for the observed frequency \( f' \) when both the source and observer are moving, and considering the wind speed, is given by: \[ f' = f \cdot \frac{V - V_w - V_o}{V - V_w + V_s} \] Where: - \( f \) = frequency of the source (300 Hz) ...
