A train of length `l` is moving with a constant speed `upsilon` along a circular track of radius `R`. The engine of the train emits a sound of frequency `f`. Find the frequency heard by a guard at the rear end of the train.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
f
`f_("guard")=f_(o)((v+v_(s))/(v+v_(s)))=f_(o)`
