Answer

(a) $f' = 1790~Hz$ (b) $f' = 1510~Hz$

Work Step by Step

(a) We can find the frequency we detect as: $f' = (1+\frac{v_{obs}}{v_{snd}})~f$ $f' = (1+\frac{30~m/s}{343~m/s})~(1650~Hz)$ $f' = 1790~Hz$ (b) We can find the frequency we detect as: $f' = (1-\frac{v_{obs}}{v_{snd}})~f$ $f' = (1-\frac{30~m/s}{343~m/s})~(1650~Hz)$ $f' = 1510~Hz$
