A police car with a siren of frequency `8 KHz` is moving with uniform velocity `36 Km//hr` towards a ball building which reflects the sound waves. The speed of sound in air is `320 m//s`. The frequency of the siren heard by the car driver is

A

`8.50 kHz`

B

`8.25 kHz`

C

`7.25 kHz`

D

`7.50 kHz`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`f_("incident") = f_("reflected") = (320)/(320-10) xx 8 kHz`
`f_("observed") = (320+10)/(320) f_("reflected") = 8 xx (320)/(310)`
=`8.51 kHz ~~ 8.5 kHz`.
