Two trains and are moving with speeds and respectively in the same direction on the same straight track, with ahead of . The engines are at the front ends. The engines of train A blows a long whistle. Assume that the sound of the whistle is composed of components varying in frequency from to , as shown in the figure. The spread in the frequency (highest frequency - lowest frequency) is thus . The speed of sound in still air is .
The distribution of the sound intensity of the whistle as observed by the passengers in train is best represented by
