A speeding motorcyclist sees traffic jam ahead of him. He slows down to 36km/hour.36km / hour . He finds that traffic has eased and a car moving ahead of him at 18km/hour18km / hour is honking at a frequency of 1392Hz.1392Hz . If the speed of sound is 343m/s,343m / s, the frequency of the honk as heard by him will be:A speeding motorcyclist sees traffic jam ahead of him. He slows down to 36km / hour . He finds that traffic has eased

Options

  1. A1332Hz1332Hz
  2. B1372Hz1372Hz
  3. C1412Hz1412Hz
  4. D1454Hz1454Hz

Correct answer

C. 1412Hz1412Hz

Step-by-step solution

A speeding motorcyclist sees traffic jam ahead of him. He slows down to 36km / hour . He finds that traffic has eased
Apparent frequency heard by the observer is given by,
f′=f0(V−V0V−Vs){f}^{'} = {f}_{0}\left(\dfrac{V - {V}_{0}}{V - {V}_{s}}\right)

Where,

f0{f}_{0} is the original frequency.

VV is the velocity of sound.

V0{V}_{0} is the velocity of the observer.

Vs{V}_{s} is the velocity of source
f′=(1392)(343−(−10)343−(−5))=1412Hz{f}^{'} = \left(1392\right)\left(\dfrac{343 - \left(- 10\right)}{343 - \left(- 5\right)}\right) = 1412Hz
