We are asked to solve for the frequency heard when a car is coming towards the observer. The car is moving at 16 m/s and the velocity of the sound is 343 m/s where the car horns at 583 Hz. We will use Doppler's Effect formula in calculating the unknown frequency such that the solution is shown below:
Fl = (V + Vl) * Fs / (V - Vs)
FL = (343 + 0)*583 / (343 - 16)
FL = 611. 53 Hertz
The answer for the frequency of the observer is
611.53 hertz.
