With what velocity an observer should move relative to a stationary source so that he hears a sound of double the frequency of source?

A

Velocity of sound towards the source

B

Velocity of sound away from the source

C

Half the velocity of sound towards the source.

D

Double the velocity of sound towards the source.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A


`n' =n((v)/(v-v_S))`
`2n=n((v-v_0)/(v-0))impliesv_O=-v=-`(speed of sound)
Negative sign indicates that observer is moving opposite to the direction of velocity of sound, as shown
