Write down an expression for the observer frequency when both source and observer are moving relative to each other in the same direction.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Apparent frequency of sound heard by an observer.
`v'= [ (v-v_(0))/(v-v_(s))]v `
where v= frequency ofsound
v=velocity of sound
`v_(0)=` velocity of observer
`v_(S) = ` velocityof source

The apparent frequency and real frequency of sound are the same (A) If source of sound and observer are moving in the same direction with same speed (B) If source of sound and observer are moving in the opposite direction with the same speed

(A) : Relative to an observer at rest in a medium the speed of a mechanical wave in that medium (1) depends only on elastic and other properties (such as mass density) of the medium. It does not depend on the velocity of the source. (B): For an observer moving with velocity v_(0) relative to the medium, the speed of a wave is obviously different from v and is given by v+-v_(0)
