A driver in a stationary car blows a horn which produces monochromatic sound waves of freqeuncy 1000 Hz normally towards a reflecting wall. The wall approaches the car with a speed of `3.3(m)/(s)`.

A

The frequency of sound reflected from wall and heard by the driver is 1020 Hz

B

The frequency of sound reflected from wall and heard by the deriver is 980 Hz

C

The percentage increase in frequency of sound after reflection from wall is `2%`

D

The percentage decrease in freqeuncy of sound after reflection from wall is `2%`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, C


`f'=f((v+v_(wall))/(v-v_(wall)))`
`f'=1000((340+3.3)/(340-3.3))=1020Hz`
`(f'-f)/(f)xx100=(trianglef)/(f)xx100=2%`
