A wall is moving with constant velocity ...


A wall is moving with constant velocity `u` towards a fixed source of sound of frequency `f`. The velocity of sound is `v`. The wavelength of the sound reflected by the wall is

A

`(v)/(f)`

B

`(v-u)/(f)`

C

`(v+u)/(f)`

D

`(v-u)/(v+u).(v)/(f)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Frequency of sound reflected by wall `f'=(v+u)/(v)f`
Wavelength of sound reflected by wall
`=(v-u)/(f')=(v-u)/(v+u)xx(v)/(f)`.
