Paragraph:
Two trains and are moving with speeds and , respectively in the same direction on the same straight track, with ahead of . The engines are at the front ends. The engine of train blows a long whistle.
Assume that the sound of the whistle is composed of components varying in frequency from to , as shown in the figure. The spread in the frequency (highest frequency - lowest frequency) is thus . The speed of sound in still air is .Question:
The spread of frequency as observed by the passengers in train is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
For the passengers in train , observer is receding with velocity and source is approaching with velocity .
\therefore=f_2^{\prime}-f_1^{\prime}=310 \mathrm{~Hz}\therefore$ The correct option is (a).
