Answer

(a) $0.35KHz$ (b) greater frequency (c) $0.38KHz$

Work Step by Step

(a) The frequency heard by Betsy can be calculated as $f^{\prime}=(\frac{1}{1-u/v})f$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $f^{\prime}=(\frac{1}{1-\frac{24}{343}})(330)$ $f^{\prime}=0.35KHz$ (b) Jim hears a greater frequency as Jim is an observer moving towards the source. (c) The frequency heard by Jim can be calculated as $f^{\prime \prime}=(1+u/v)f^{\prime}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $f^{\prime \prime}=(1+\frac{24}{343})(355)=0.38KHz$
