Answer:

Answer:

835.29 Hz

Explanation:

When moving towards the source of sound, frequency will be given by

f*=f(vd+v)/v

Where f is the freqiency of the source, vd is the driving speed, v is the speed of sound in air, f* is the inkown frequency when moving forward.

Substituting 800 Hz for f, 340 m/s for v and 15 m/s for vd then

f*=800(15+340)/340=835.29411764704 Hz

Rounded off, the frequency is approximately 835.29 Hz
