The correct answer is:
$680 \mathrm{Hz}$
Given $\quad v=340 \mathrm{ms}^{-1}, \quad u_{5}=20 \mathrm{ms}^{-1} \quad$ and
$v_{0}=640 \mathrm{Hz}$
From Doppler's law,
$$
\begin{array}{l}
v=\left(\frac{340}{340-20}\right) 640 \\
v=680 \mathrm{Hz}
\end{array}
$$
$v_{0}=640 \mathrm{Hz}$
From Doppler's law,
$$
\begin{array}{l}
v=\left(\frac{340}{340-20}\right) 640 \\
v=680 \mathrm{Hz}
\end{array}
$$
