BITSAT2016PhysicsWaves and SoundActual
A source of sound S emitting waves of frequency 100 ~Hz and an observor O are located at some distance from each other. The source is moving with a speed of 19.4 ~ms ⁻¹ at an angle of 60^ with the source observer line as shown in the figure. The observor is at rest. The apparent frequency observed by the observer is (velocity of sound in air 330 ~ms ⁻¹ )
Options
- A103 ~Hz
- B106 ~Hz
- C97 ~Hz
- D100 ~Hz
Correct answer
A. 103 ~Hz
Step-by-step solution
Here, original frequency of sound, f ₀=100 ~Hz Speed of source V_ s =19.4 60^ =9.7 From Doppler's formula f ^ l = f ₀ ( V - V ₀ ~V - V _ s ) f ^ l =100 ( V -0 ~V -(+9.7) ) f ^ l =100 V V (1- 9.7 ~V ) f ¹=100 (1+ 9.7 330 )=103 ~Hz Apparent frequency f ¹=103 ~Hz
