Question:
A car moves with a speed of $54 \mathrm{~km} \mathrm{~h}^{-1}$ towards a cliff. The horn of the car emits sound of frequency $400 \mathrm{~Hz}$ at a speed of $335 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$.
(a) Find the wavelength of the sound emitted by the horn in front of the car.
(b) Find the wavelength of the wave reflected from the cliff.
(c) What frequency does a person sitting in the car hear for the reflected sound wave?
