Explanation
Doppler Effect for Moving Source Steps: - Use the Doppler formula for source moving away from stationary observer: , where Hz, Hz, m/s. - Rearrange: m/s. - Approximate using : m/s away. - Options approximate to 21 m/s away, as exact 22.7 is closest to 21 (yields ~754 Hz). Why B is correct: - Matches approximate Doppler shift for source receding, where frequency decreases proportionally to source speed away from observer. Why the others are wrong: - A: 19 m/s away yields ~758 Hz, too high for 750 Hz. - C: 21 m/s towards yields ~852 Hz, frequency increases, not decreases. - D: 19 m/s towards yields ~849 Hz, frequency …
