Two engines pass each other moving in opposite directions with a uniform speed of $30\,m/s$. One of them is blowing a whistle of frequency $540\,Hz$. Calculate the frequency heard by the driver of the second engine before they pass each other. (Speed of sound is $330\,m/s$).

The observer is moving with velocity $v_0$ towards the stationary source of sound and then after crossing moves away from the source with velocity $v_0$. Assume that the medium through which the sound waves travel is at rest. If $v$ is the velocity of sound and $n$ is the frequency emitted by the source,then the difference between apparent frequencies heard by the observer is:
