A train, standing in a station-yard, blows a whistle of frequency 400 Hz in still air. The wind starts blowing in the direction from the yard to the station with a speed of `10 m s^-1` . What are the frequency, wavelength, and speed of sound for an observer standing on the station’s platform? Is the situation exactly identical to the case when the air is still and the observer runstowards the yard at a speed of `10 m s^-1`? The speed of sound in still air can be taken as `340 m s ^-1`.
