Dopple Effect

Classical Mechanics Level pending

An ambulance is running from A to B at a speed of 60 kilometres per hour with a siren of 880Hz as shown in the figure. Let the frequencies of the siren sound detected by the observer located at point O be v a v_{a} and v b v_{b} when the vehicle just passes point A and point B respectively. Point C is just to the north of point O and O C = A C = B C = 100 m \vec{OC}=\vec{AC}=\vec{BC}=100m . The sound velocity is 340m/s.

What is the approximate value of v a / v b 1 ? v_{a}/v_{b} -1 ?
