A whistle giving out 450 H(Z) approaches...

A whistle giving out `450 H_(Z)` approaches a stationary observer at a speed of `33 m//s`. The frequency heard the observer (in `H_(Z)`) is (speed of sound `= 330 m//s`)

A

`409`

B

`429`

C

`517`

D

`500`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Source is moving towards the observer
`f' = f((nu)/(nu - nu_(s))) = 450 ((330)/(330 - 33))`
`f' = 500 H_(Z)`
