Effective Wavelength when Source Moves towards Observer Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Wavelength = (Velocity of Sound-Velocity of Source)/Wave Frequency
λ = (c-Vsource)/fw
This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
Wavelength - (Measured in Meter) - Wavelength is the distance covered by the wave in one oscillation.
Velocity of Sound - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Velocity of Sound is the distance covered by the sound in one second.
Velocity of Source - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Velocity of Source is the distance covered by the source in one second.
Wave Frequency - (Measured in Hertz) - Wave Frequency is number of waves that pass a fixed point in given amount of time. Wave frequency can be measured by counting number of crests of waves that pass the fixed point in given time period.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Velocity of Sound: 343 Meter per Second --> 343 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Velocity of Source: 80 Meter per Second --> 80 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Wave Frequency: 90 Hertz --> 90 Hertz No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
λ = (c-Vsource)/fw --> (343-80)/90
Evaluating ... ...
λ = 2.92222222222222
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
2.92222222222222 Meter --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
2.92222222222222 2.922222 Meter <-- Wavelength
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
