Question:medium

Two tuning forks with natural frequencies 340 Hz each move relative to a stationary observer. One fork moves away from the observer while the other moves towards the observer with the same speed. The observer hears beats of frequency 3 Hz. Find the speed of the tuning forks.

Show Hint

For beats with moving sources: \[ f_{\text{beat}} = |f_1 - f_2| \] Use Doppler formula carefully for approaching and receding sources.
