Question 37
Easy

A moving source S emits a sound wave with a wavelength of 0.85 m.

A stationary observer O measures the wavelength of this sound as 0.93 m.

A diagram showing a source S moving to the left, away from a stationary observer O on the right. The sound wavefronts travelling towards O are spaced further apart, representing an increased wavelength.

Calculate the difference between the wavelength emitted by S and the wavelength detected by O.
