A whistle giving out `450 H_(Z)` approaches a stationary observer at a speed of `33 m//s`. The frequency heard the observer (in `H_(Z)`) is (speed of sound `= 330 m//s`)

A

409

B

429

C

517

D

500

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`f=f_(o)((v)/(v_(obs)))`
`=450((330)/(330-33))=500Hz`

A whistle emitting a sound of frequency 450 Hz approaches a stationary observer at a speed of 33 m/s. Velocity of sound is 330 m/s. The frequency heard by the observer, in Hz, is :

A source of sound of frequency n is moving towards a stationary observer with a speed S. If the speed of sound in air is V and the frequency heard by the observer is n_(1) ,the value of n_(1)//n is

A source producing sound of frequency 170 Hz is approaching a stationary observer with a velocity 17 ms^(-1) . The apparent change in the wavelength of sound heard by the observer is (speed of sound in air = 340 ms^(-1) )

A train moves towards a stationary observer with speed 34 m/s. The train sounds a whistle and its frequency registered by the observer is f_(1) . If the speed of train is reduced to 17 m/s, the frequency registered is f_(2) . If speed fo sound is 340 m/s, then the ratio f_(1)//f_(2) is :

a bus is moving towards and stationary observer with speed 20 m/s blows a horn of frequency 200 Hz. the frequency of sound heard by the observer is approximately ( take speed of sound 320 m/s)

One train is approaching an observer at rest and another train is receding from him with the same velocity 4 m//s . Both trains blow whistles of same frequency of 243 H_(Z) . The beat frequency in H_(Z) as heard by observer is (speed of sound in air = 320 m//s )
