A source and a detector move away from each other in absence of wind with a speed of 20ms−120m{s}^{- 1}, with respect to the ground. If the detector detects a frequency of 1800Hz1800Hz of the sound coming from the source, then the original frequency of source considering the speed of sound in the air 340ms−1340m{s}^{- 1} will be _____ HzHz.

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

The formula of apparent frequency in terms of velocity of the source and observer is,& f′=f(v−v0v+vs),nowputf^{′} = f \left(\dfrac{v - {v}_{0}}{v + {v}_{s}}\right), now put the values which are given in the question,

⇒ 1800 = f\left[\dfrac{340 - 20}{340 + 20}\right]⇒f=⇒ f =\dfrac{1800 \times 360}{320}Hz⇒f=2025HzHz⇒ f = 2025Hz
