A whistle producing sound waves of frequencies `9500 Hz` and above is approaching a stationary person with speed `vms^(-1)`. The velocity of sound in air is `300 ms^(-1)`. If the person can hear frequencies upto a maximum of `10,000 Hz`.The maximum value of `v` upto which he can hear whistle is

A

`30 ms^(-1)`

B

`15sqrt(2) ms^(-1)`

C

`15sqrt(2)ms^(-1)`

D

`15 ms^(-1)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`f' = f"(C)/(C - V)`
`10000 = 9500 xx (300)/(300 - V)`

`300 - V = 3 xx 95`
`V = 15 m//s`
