Question

The pattern of sound waves emitted by a source traveling at constant velocity is shown in the figure below. Each of the wave fronts shown in the image was emitted when the source was at one of the blue dots shown in the image

The ratio of the speed of the source to the speed of sound is 2.

If you are at rest at point A, and the source is emitting waves that have a frequency of 660 Hz, what frequency do you observe?

Answer #1

n=660Hz
