Two identical whistles, each sounding at 340 Hz, stand still beside a straight railway track, some distance apart. A passenger on a train moving at 10 m/s between them, from one whistle towards the other, hears both. The air is still and the speed of sound is 340 m/s. The number of beats per second the passenger hears is ____. →
