NEET2015PhysicsWaves and SoundActual
A source of sound S emitting waves of frequency 100 Hz and an observer O are located at some distance from each other. The source is moving with a speed of 19.4 m s - 1 at an angle of 60 o with the source observer line as shown in the figure. The observer is at rest. The apparent frequency observed by the observer corresponding to the wave emitted by the source at the instant shown is (velocity of sound in air 330 m
Options
- A103 Hz
- B106   Hz
- C97   Hz
- D100   Hz
Correct answer
A. 103 Hz
Step-by-step solution
f = f 0 v - v 0 v - v s f = 100 v - 0 v - + 9.7 f = 100 v v 1 - 9.7 v f = 100 1 + 9 .7 330 = 103 H z
