Homework Statement
Calculate the Doppler frequency shift under the following condition:
Ultrasonic frequency = 5 [MHz] Velocity of target = 0.1 [m/s]
Angle between the US beam and flow =60 [deg.]

I put the detait of the question and my answer below
Did I answer it correctly?
Relevant Equations
f = 2. vr. fs. cos /c

Looks ok, except that it violates the usual rules of significant digits. Since the given frequency and speed have only one such the answer should be given as ##3\times 10^2##Hz. On the other hand, the question setter might not have intended that.
