To solve the problem step by step, we can follow these instructions: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have two tuning forks, both with a natural frequency of 340 Hz. One is moving towards a stationary observer, and the other is moving away from the observer. The observer hears a beat frequency of 3 Hz. ### Step 2: Define the Variables - Let \( f = 340 \, \text{Hz} \) (natural frequency of the tuning forks) - Let \( v \) be the speed of sound in air (approximately \( 340 \, \text{m/s} \)) ...
