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

8.25 kHz

B

8.50 kHz

C

7.75 kHz

D

7.50 kHz

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`n_("inicident") = n_("reflected") = (320)/(320 - 10) xx 8 kHz`
`n_("observed") = (320 + 10)/(320) n_("reflected")`
`= 8 xx (330)/(310) = 8.51 kHz = 8.5 kHz`
