Homework Statement


A car stops at 50m to a road-railway junction. A train is moving with a constant velocity 35m/s towards the junction. If the train emits a siren at a frequency of 100Hz, calculate the maximum and the minimum frequency that can be heard by the car driver.

velocity of sound: 343m/s
