A source of sound is travelling towards ...

A source of sound is travelling towards a stationary observer. The frequency of sound heard by the observer is `25 %` more than the actual frequency. If the speed of sound is `v`, that of the source is

A

`v//5`

B

`v//4`

C

`v//3`

D

`v//2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`{:(rarr v_(s),,larr v_(o) = 0),(overset(*)(S),overset(v)rarr,overset(*)(O)):}`
`f' = f((v)/(v-v_(s)))`
`1.25f = f((v)/(v-v_(s)))`
`1.25 v-1.25 v_(s) = v rArr v_(s) = v//5`
