A point source of sound on top of a police car emits a signal at 1000 Hz. If the car is traveling in a straight line at 20.0 m/s, what is the perceived wavelength (to three significant figures) as measured by someone standing on the road directly in front of the car? Take the speed of sound to be 335 m/s.
