Question 34
Easy

The diagram shows a stationary meteorological receiver, R, and a moving weather drone, D.

Meteorological receiver R and a drone D moving away from it.

D emits a constant acoustic tracking signal. R detects this signal. D is moving at a constant speed in the direction shown by the arrow, directly away from R.

D emits a sound wave with a wavelength of 0.154 m. R detects this sound wave with a wavelength of 0.178 m.

Calculate the difference between the wavelength emitted by D and the wavelength detected by R.
