A train moving at a speed of `220ms^-1` towards a stationary object emits a sound of frequency 1000 Hz. Some of the sound reaching the object gets reflected back to the train as echo. The frequency of the echo as detected by the driver of the train is (speed of sound in air is `330ms^(-1)`)

A

5000Hz

B

3000Hz

C

3500Hz

D

4000Hz

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`n'=n((V+V_(t))/(V-V_(t)))=1000((330+220)/(330-220))`
`=1000xx(550)/(110)=5000Hz`.

A rocket is moving at a speed of 200ms^(-1) towards a stationary target. While moving, it emits a wave of frequency 1000hz. Some of the sound reaching the target gets reflected back to the racket as an echo. Calculate the frequency of sound as detected by the person at the position of tartget and frequecny of echo as detected by the rocket . Given velocity of soun =330ms^(-1) .

Towards a stationary object, a train is moving with a speed of 300 m/s and emits a sound wave of frequency 2000 Hz. Small percentage of the sound is reflected back to train in the form of echo. The frequency of the echo as detected by a person sitting in the train will be (speed of sound is 340 m/s).
