two trains `Aand B` moving with speeds `20m//s` and `30m//s` respectively in the same direction on the same straight track, with `B` ahesd of `A`. The engines are at the front ends. The engine of train `A` blows a long whistle.
Assume that the sound of the whistle is composed of components varying in frequency from `f_(1) = 800 Hz` to `f_(2) = 1120 Hz`, as shown in the figure. the spread in the frequency (highest frequency - lowest frequency) is thus `320 Hz`. the speed of sound in still air is `340 m//s`.
The distribution of the sound intensity of the whistle as observed by the passengers in train `A` is best represented by

A

B

C

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

(a) Since all the passenger in train `A` are moving with a velocity of `20 m//s` therefore the distribution of sound intensity of the whistle by the passengers in train `A` is uniform.
