How Does Doppler Effect Influence Perceived Sound Frequency?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the range of frequencies perceived by a listener due to the Doppler Effect, using a speaker emitting sound at 440 Hz. The setup includes a block and speaker with a mass of 5.00 kg, a spring constant of 20.0 N/m, and an amplitude of motion of 0.500 m. The calculated range of frequencies heard by the listener is between 439 Hz and 441 Hz, derived from the speaker's speed of 0.707 m/s and the Doppler frequency shift equations.

7. A block with a speaker bolted to it is connected to a spring having spring constant k = 20.0 N/m as in Figure 3. The total mass of the block and speaker is 5.00 kg, and the amplitude of this unit’s motion is 0.500 m. If the speaker emits sound waves of frequency 440 Hz, determine the range in frequencies heard by the person to the right of the speaker.
Ans: [ 439 Hz < f < 441 Hz ]


Can anyone help me to solve this? Give me some clues please.

I do it in this way:

1/2 k x^2 = ma
a = 0.5
And I found the value of v1 (speed of speaker) = 0.707 by using v1^2 = u^2 =2as

Then I find the max frequency by f`=f ( v / ( v-v1))
min frequescy = f`=f ( v / ( v+v1))


Am I doing correctly?
