A high speed train is traveling at a speed of 41 m/s when the engineer sounds the 416 Hz warning horn. The speed of sound is 345 m/s. What is the frequency of the sound as perceived by a person standing on at the crossing when the train is leaving?
I used the equation: f0=fs/(1-vs/v)
f0=416 Hz / 1-(41 m/s / 345 m/s)
f0=366.6
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong... =(
