A sound wave of frequency `f` travels horizontally to the right. It is reflected from a large vertical plane surface moving to left with a speed `v`. The speed of sound in medium is `C`

A

The number of waves striking the surface per second is `f((c+v))/(c)`

B

The wavelength of reflected wave is `(c(c-v))/(f(c+v))`

C

The frequeency of the reflected wave is `f((c+v))/((c-v))`

D

The number of beats heard by a stationary listener to the left of the reflecting surface is `(vf)/(c-v)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C, D

Moving plane is like a moving observer,Therefore number of waves encounntered by moving plane
`f_1=f((v+v_0)/(c))=f((c+v)/(c))`
Frequency of reflected wave, `f_2=f_1((v)/(v-v_0))=f((c+v)/(c-v))`
Wavelength of reflected wave, `lambda_2=(v)/(f_2)=(c)/(f_2)=c/(f)((c-v)/(c+v))`
Number of beats heard`=f_2-f=(2vf)/(c-v)`
