Answer:

The detect frequency is 1622.72 Hz.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Frequency = 1500 Hz

Suppose you move with a speed of 27.0 m/s toward the fire engine. what frequency do you detect ?

We need to calculate the frequency

Using formula of frequency


f=((v+v_(0))/(v))f_(0)

Where, v = speed of sound

v₀ = speed of source

f₀ = frequency of siren

Put the value into the formula


f=(330+27.0)/(330)*1500


f=1622.72\ Hz

Hence, The detect frequency is 1622.72 Hz.
