Example 14-11 depicts the following scenario. A train sounds its whistle as it approaches a tunnel in a cliff. The whistle produces a tone of 650.0 HzHz, and the train travels with a speed of 21.2 m/sm/s. Now we will consider some slightly different scenarios related to Example 14-11. A)Suppose the engineer adjusts the speed of the train until the sound he hears reflected from the cliff is 770 HzHz . The train's whistle still produces a tone of 650.0...
