$A$ whistle of frequency $500 \, Hz$ tied to the end of a string of length $1.2 \, m$ revolves at $400 \, rev/min$. $A$ listener standing some distance away in the plane of rotation of the whistle hears frequencies in the range (speed of sound $= 340 \, m/s$):

  • A
    $436 \, Hz$ to $586 \, Hz$
  • B
    $426 \, Hz$ to $574 \, Hz$
  • C
    $426 \, Hz$ to $584 \, Hz$
  • D
    $436 \, Hz$ to $674 \, Hz$
