An isotropic stationary source is emitting waves of frequency n and wind is blowing due north. An observer A is on north of the source while observer B is on south the source. IF both the observers are stationary, then

A

frequency received by A is greater than n

B

frequency received by B is less than n

C

freqeuency received by A equals to that received by B

D

frequencies received by A and B cannot be calculated unless velocity of waves in still air and velcity of wind are known

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Since source and both the observer are stationary, therefore no change will be observed by the two observer. It means both the observers will receive waves with natural frequency, which is equal to n.

Stationary Source And Moving Observer

An observer is moving towards the stationary source of sound, then

A source of sound emitting a note of frequency 200 Hz moves towards an observer with a velocity v equal to the velocity of sound. If the observer also moves away from the source with the same velocity v, the apparent frequency heard by the observer is

A fixed source of sound emitting a certain frequency appears as f_(a) when the observer is apporoaching the source with upsilon_(0) and f_(r) when the observer recedes from the source with the same speed. The frequency of source is

A source emitting a sound of frequency v is placed at a large distance from an observer. The source starts moving towards the observer with a uniform acceleration a. Find the frequency heard by the observer corresponding to the wave emitted just after the source starts. The speed of sound in the medium is v.

An observer starts moving with uniform acceleration a towards a stationary sound source emitting a whistle of frequency n . As the observer approaches source, the apparent frequency, head by the observer varies with time as

A source of frequency 1 kHz is moving towards a stationary observer with velocity of 0.9 times that of sound. What is the frequency heard by the observer ?

A sound source emitting sound of frequency 450 Hz is approaching a stationary observer with velocity 30 ms^(-1) and another identical source is going away from the observer with the same velocity. If the velocity of sound is 330 ms^(-1) , then the difference of frequencies heard by observer is
