An ambulance driver traveling at 34.0 m/s (76.1 mph) honks his horn as he sees a motorist ahead on the highway traveling in the same direction. The motorist hears a frequency of 378 Hz and notices that his own speedometer reads 33.6 mph (15.0 m/s). Calculate the frequency that the ambulance driver hears. (Speed of sound is 340 m/s) (in Hz) A: 1.17×10^2 B: 1.46×10^2 C: 1.82×10^2 D: 2.28×10^2 E: 2.85×10^2 F: 3.56×10^2 G: 4.45×10^2 H: 5.56×10^2
