A point source of sound is moving uniformly along positive `x` direction with velocity `V_(0)`. At time `t = 0` the source was at origin and emitted a compression pulse `C_(1)`. After time T it emitted another compression pulse `C_(2)`. Write the equation of the wave front representing the compression pulse `C_(2)` at time `t (gt T)`. Speed of sound is `V`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`(x-V_(0)T)^(2)+y^(2)+z^(2)=V^(2)(t-T)^(2)`
