A source of sound S is moving with a velocity of `50m//s` towards a stationary observer. The observer measures the frequency of the source as 1000 Hz. What will be the apparent frequency of the source as 1000 Hz. What will be the apparent frequency of the source when it is moving away from the observer after crossing him? The velocity of the sound in the medium is `350m//s`

A

750 Hz

B

857 Hz

C

1143 Hz

D

1333 Hz

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
When the source is coming to the stationary observer,
`n=(v/(v-v_(s)))n` or `1000=(350/(350-50))n`
or `n=(1000xx300)/350 Hz`
When the source is moving away from the stationary observer,
`n''=(v/(v+v_(s)))n=(350/(350+50))((1000xx300)/350)=750` Hz
