Problem

A whistle emitting a steady note of 540 Hz540\,\text{Hz} is at rest near a listener. A second whistle of unknown frequency moves straight towards the listener with a speed of 30 m s−130\,\text{m\,s}^{-1} through still air (vsound=330 m s−1v_{\text{sound}} = 330\,\text{m\,s}^{-1}). The listener hears 44 beats per second. Find the two possible values of the frequency of the moving whistle.
