Show that when the speed of the source and the observer are small compared to the speed of sound in the medium, the change in frequency becomes independent of the fact whether the source is moving or the observer.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

If observer is moving, then
`f' = f ((nu +- nu_(o))/(nu)) = f (1 +- (nu_(o))/(nu))`
If source is moving, then
`f'=f((v)/(vpmv_(s)))`
`=f(1pm(v_(s))/(v))^(-1)=f(1pm(v_(s))/(v))`
If `v_(s)lt ltv`
Both expressions come out to be of simiar type.

If source and observer both are relatively at rest and if speed of sound is increased then frequency heard by observer will

A source of sound moves towards an observe.

When both source and observer approach each other with a speed a equal to the half the speed of sound, then determine the percentage change in frequency of sound as detected by the listener.

(a) Does the change in frequency due to Doppler effect depend on the distance between source (b)Does the change in frequency due to Doppler effect on the fact that source is moving towards the observer or observer is moving towards the source ?

A stationary source emits sound of frequency upsilon=1200Hz . If a wind blows at the speed of 0.1c deduce (i) the percentage change in the wavelength and (ii) the change in the frequency for a stationary observer on the wind side of the source. What happens when there is no wind, but the observer moves at speed 0.1c towards the source?

when a source of sound of frequency f crosses stationary observer with a speed v_(s) (lt lt speed of sound v) , the apparent change in frequency Dealtaf is given by

A : Doppler's effect in sound is asymmetric but in light , it is symmetric R : In Sound , change in frequency depends on the individual velocity of both the source as well as the observer . In light , change in frequency depends on the relative velocity between source and observer .

if the speed of a sound source is equal to the speed fo sound and the source is moving away from the observer, then the ratio of apparent frequency to the original frequency is
