A submarine A travelling at 17 ~m / s is being chased along the line of its velocity by another submarine B travelling at 34 ~m / s . B sends a sonar signal of 600 ~Hz to detect A and receives a reflected sound of frequency v . The of v is [Speed of sound in water =1500 ~ms ⁻¹ ]
Options
- A613.7 ~Hz
- B6137 ~Hz
- C62 ~Hz
- D539 ~Hz
Correct answer
A. 613.7 ~Hz
Step-by-step solution
Given, velocity of submarine A, v_A=17 ~m / s Velocity of submarine B, v_B=34 ~m / s Signal sent by submarine B is detected by submarine A can be shown as Freqency of the signal, f₀=600 ~Hz Speed of sound in water v_s=1500 ~ms ⁻¹ Frequency received by submarine A is f₁= ( v_ S -v_A v_ S -v_B ) f₀= [ 1500-17 1500-34 ] 600 ~Hz f₁= 1483 1466 600 Frequency received by submarine B is f₂= ( v_ S +v_B v_s+v_A ) f₁ Substituting given values and f₁ value from Eq. (i), we get aligned f₂ & = ( 1500+34 1500+17 ) [ 1483 1466 60
