A source of sound is travelling towards ...

A source of sound is travelling towards a stationary observer. The frequency of sound heard by the observer is of three times the original frequency. The velocity of sound is v m / sec . The speed of source will be

A

`(2)/(3)v`

B

`v`

C

`(3)/(2)v`

D

`3v`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

We use
`n' = n((v)/(v - v_(S))) implies (n')/(n) = ((v)/(v - v_(S)))`
implies ` (v)/(v - v_(S)) = 3 impliesv_(s) = (2v)/(3)`.
