Two electric trains run at the same speed of 72km/h along the same track and in the same direction with a separation of 2.4km between them. The two trains simultaneously sound brief whistles. A person is situated at a perpendicular distance of 500m from the track and is equidistant from the two trains at the instant of the whistling. If both the whistles were at 500Hz and the speed of sound in air is 340m/s, find the frequencies heard by the person.
