JAMB - Physics (2019 - No. 60)

A car moving at 20m/s with its horn blowing (f = 1200Hz) is chasing another car going at 15m/s. What is the apparent frequency of the horn as heard by the driver being chased?
1.22KHz
2.40KHz
8.12KHz
1.22Hz

Explanation

f\(_1\) = f(v - v\(_o\))
v - v\(_s\)
= 1200(340 - 15)
340 - 20
= 1.22KHz
