A stationary observer receives sonic oscillations from two tuning forks one of which approaches and the other recedes with the same velocity. As this takes place, the observer hears the beats of frequency `f = 2.0 H_(Z)`. Find the velocity of each tuning fork if their oscillation frequency is `f_(o) = 680 H_(Z)` and the velocity of sound in air is `upsilon = 340 m//s`.

A

`1m//s`

B

`2m//s`

C

`0.5m//s`

D

`1.5m//s`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`[((v)/(v-v_S))-((v)/(v+v_S))]f_0=2Hz`
`v_S=0.5 m//s`

A stationary observer receives sound waves from tow tuning forks, one of which approaches and the other recedes with the same velocity. As this takes place, the observer hears beats of frequency upsilon=2Hz . Find the velocity of each tuning fork if their oscillation frequency is upsilon_0=680Hz and the velocity of sound in air is upsilon_s=340(m)/(s) .

A stationary observer receives sound from two indentical tuning forks, one of which approaches and the other one recedes with the same speex (much less than the speed of sound). The observer hears 2 beats/ sec. The oscillation frequency of each tuning fork is v_(0)=1400 Hz and the velocity of sound in air is 350 m/s. The speed of each tuning fork is close to :
