An engine running at speed `(v)/(10)` sounds a whistle of frequency 600 Hz. A passenger in a train coming from the oppsite side at speed of `(v)/(15)` experiences this whistle to be of frequency f. If v is speed of sound in air and there is no wind. F is nearest to

A

711 Hz

B

630 Hz

C

580 Hz

D

510 Hz

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

As the source and the observer are approaching one another, so `n'` would be larger.
`f=(((v+v)/(15))/((v-v)/(10)))600=711Hz`

A train, standing in a stationyard, blows a whistle of frequency 400Hz in still air. The wind starts blowing in the direction from the yeard to the station at a speed of 10ms^(-1) . What are the frequency, wavelength, and speed of sound for an observer standing on the station's platform ? Is the situation exactly identical to the case when the air is still and the observer runs towards the yeard at a speed of 10ms^(-1) ? Th speed of sound in still air can be taken as 340ms^(-1) .
