3. A red blood cell travels at a speed
of 0.40 m/s in a large artery. A
sound with frequency of 100,000 Hz
enters the blood vessel opposite
the direction of flow. Calculate the
frequency of sound reflected from
the cell and detected by a receiver.
The speed of sound in blood is
1500 m/s.

TRY THIS: (p. 167 of ur txtbk.)
A stationary observer perceives
the frequency of the incoming
train as 310 Hz and 256 Hz
when in front of him and 215
Hz as it passes by. How fast is
the train moving if the
