    39267.96 Hz

    Explanation:

    Given:

    Frequency emitted = 16246 Hz

    Speed of source = 141 m/s

    Speed of observer = 141 m/s

    Let the velocity of sound is v = 340 m/s

    Doppler effect is nothing but the change in the wavelength or frequency of a wave relative to the observer, who is also moving relative to the origin of the wave source.

    Therefore, Doppler effect when the source and the observer moves towards each other,

    Frequency heard = (frequency emitted) (Velocity of sound + Speed of the observer) / (velocity of sound - speed of source)

    16246 x (340 + 141) / (340 - 141)

    = 39267.96 Hz
