A whistle of frequency 540 Hz is moving ...

A whistle of frequency 540 Hz is moving in a circle of radius 2 ft at a constant angular speed of 15 rad/s. What are the lowest and highest frequencies heard by a listener standing at rest, a long distance away from the centre of the circle? (Velocity of sound in air is 1100ft/s)

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to determine the lowest and highest frequencies heard by a listener standing at rest while the whistle is moving in a circular path. We will use the Doppler effect formula for a moving source and a stationary observer. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Given Values:** - Frequency of the whistle (source frequency, \( f_0 \)) = 540 Hz - Radius of the circle (r) = 2 ft - Angular speed (\( \omega \)) = 15 rad/s ...
