What frequency is heard by speeder

Reference no: EM13550612

A state trooper chases a speeder along a straight stretch of road; both vehicles move at 136 km/h. The siren on the tropper's vehicle produces a sound of 490 Hz. What frequency is heard by speeder? (Take the speed of sound in air to be 343 m/s.)
