A statinary observer receives a sound of frequency 2000 Hz. The variation of apparent frequency and time is shown. Find the speed of source, if velocity of sound is `300(m)/(s)`

A

`66.6(m)/(s)`

B

`33.3(m)/(s)`

C

`27.3(m)/(s)`

D

`59.3(m)/(s)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B


for AP, `f=f_0((V)/(V-V_Scostheta))`
for PB, `f=f_0((V)/(V+V_Scostheta))`
`f_(min)=1800=f_0((V)/(V+V_S))=2000((V)/(V+V_S))`
`f_(max)=2250=f_0((V)/(V-V_S))=2000((V)/(V-V_S))`

An observer moves towards a stationary source of sound of frequency n . The apparent frequency heard by him is 2 n . If the velocity of sound in air is 332 m/sec, then the velocity of the observer is

A source emits sound of frequency 600Hz inside water. The frequency heard in air will be equal to (velocity of sound in water =1500(m)/(s) , velocity of sound in air=300(m)/(s))

A stationary observer receives a sound from a sound of freqeuency v_0 moving with a constant velocity v_S=30(m)/(s) The apparent frequency varies with time as shown in figure. Velocity of sound v=300(m)/(s) . Then which of the following is incorrect?

A source of sound is moving with a velocity of 50 ms ^(-1) towards a stationary observer.The observer measures the frequency of sound as 500 Hz.The apparent frequency of sound as heard by the observer when source is moving away from him with the same speed is (Speed of sound at room temperature 350 ms ^(-1)

A source of sound is moving away from an observer at rest with a velocity of 50 m s^(-1) . If the frequency of sound is 200 Hz , find the apparent frequency observed by the observer. (Take velocity of sound = 300 m s^(-1))

A source and an observer approach each other with same velocity 50 m/s. If the apparent frequency is 434 Hz, then the real frequency is (Given velocity of sound = 332 m/s)
