The siren of a fire engine that is driving northward at 30.0 m/s emits a sound of frequency 2000 Hz.A truck in front of this fire engine is moving northward at 20.0 m/s.What is the frequency of the siren's sound that the fire engine's driver hears reflected from the back of the truck?,

So this question based on doppler effect Here apparent freq = freq of sound *(speed of sound-speed of observer)/(speed of sound-speed of source) given freq of sound=2000 speed of observer= 20 speed of source= 30 taking speed of sound as 343 m/s apparent freq = 2000 [343 - 20] / [343 - 30] = 2063.90 Hz

 n ' = n [v-vo] / [v-vs]
If, v=343 m/s (+x), vs
= 30 m/s (+x), v0
= 20 m/s (+x) 
then,
n ' = 2000 [343 - 20] / [343 - 30]
= 2063.90 Hz
