A disc of radius 0.20 m rotates about its axis making eight revolutions per second. Sound of frequency 2400 Hz is emitted in all directions from a source on the circumference of the disc. The sound is received by an observer far away from the disc. Determine the range of frequencies(fmin-fmax) Hz and the range of wavelengths(λmin-λmax) m that the observer measures.
