A whistle giving out `450 H_(Z)` approaches a stationary observer at a speed of `33 m//s`. The frequency heard the observer (in `H_(Z)`) is (speed of sound `= 330 m//s`)

A

409

B

429

C

517

D

500

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`f' = f[(v)/(v -v_(s))] =450[(330)/(330-33)]=500 Hz`.
