Solution

The beat frequency is calculated by finding the difference between the two frequencies. In this case, the frequencies are 505 Hz and 501 Hz.

Step 1: Write down the two frequencies. Frequency 1 = 505 Hz Frequency 2 = 501 Hz

Step 2: Subtract the smaller frequency from the larger one. Beat Frequency = Frequency 1 - Frequency 2 Beat Frequency = 505 Hz - 501 Hz

Step 3: Calculate the difference. Beat Frequency = 4 Hz

So, the beat frequency that is heard when the two whistles are blown simultaneously is 4 Hz.

A train is traveling west at a velocity of 25 m/s.  Another train is traveling east directly toward the west-bound train at a velocity of 15 m/s.  The west-bound train blows its whistle with a frequency of 600 Hz when the two trains are 1000 m apart and then blows its whistle again 10 seconds later.  For passengers on the east-bound train, how will the perceived frequency of the first whistle compare with the perceived frequency of the second whistle?  (Note: Use 350 m/s for the speed of sound in air.)A.It will be 60% higher than the frequency of the second whistle.B.It will be 40% higher than the frequency of the second whistle.C.It will be approximately identical to the frequency of the second whistle.D.It will be 40% lower than the frequency of the second whistle.
