A siren placed at a railway platform is emitting sound of frequency `5 kHz`. A passenger sitting in a moving train `A` records a frequency of `5.5kHz` while the train approaches the siren. During his return journey in a different train `B` he records a frequency of `6.0 kHz` while approaching the same siren. the ratio the velocity of train `B` to that of train `A` is

A

`242//252`

B

`2`

C

`3`

D

`11//6`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`n'=n((V+V_(e))/(V))`
`n'V=nV+nV_(o)`
`V((n'-n))/n=Ve`
`V_(o)prop(n'-n)`
`(V_(2))/(V_(1))=(6.5-5)/(5.5-5)=3`

A siren placed at a railway platform is emmitting sound of frequency 5 kHz . A passenger sitting in a moving train A records a frequency of 5.5kHz while the train approaches the siren. During his return journey in a different train B he records a frequency of 6.0 kHz while approaching the same siren. the ratio the velocity of train of A is

A siren placed at a railway platform is emitting sound of frequency 5 kHz. A passenger sitting in a train 'A' going out of platform records frequency 4.5kHz. During return journey in a different train ' B' he records a frequency of 6kHz ratio of the velocity of train 'B' and train 'A' is (Given velocity of sound, V=340m / sec )

A whistling train approaches a junction. An observer standing at juction obsrever the frequency to be 2.2 KHz and 1.8 KHz of the approaching and the receding train respectively. Find the speed of the train (speed of sound 300m//s )

An observer standing on a railway crossing receives frequencies 2.2 kHz and 1.8 kHz when the tran approaches and recedes from the observer. Find the velocity of the train (speed of sound in air is 300 m/s).

A train A is travelling at a speed of 108 km hr^(-1) The train approaches another train B standing on the platform.The engine of the train B below its horn. The frequency of the horn as observed by the driver in train A is 504 Hz. The frequency of the horn of train B is (speed of sound = 330 ms ^(-1)

A train in approaching a station with a uniform velocity of 72kmph and the frequency of the whistle of that train is 480Hz . The apparent increase in the frequency of that whistle heard by a stationary observer on the platform is (Velocity of sound in air is 340m//s )

A person A is sitting in one train while another person B is in the second train. The trains are moving with velocities 60 m//s and 40 m//s , respectively, in the same direction. Then the velocity of B relative to A will be.

Two trains A and B are approaching a platfrom from opposite directions .The siren in the station is making a sound at a frequency 4kHz.The passengers in trains A and B hear siren at frequencies 4.5 and 5kHz respectively.Then the velocities of the trains A and B are (velocity of sound in air =340 m/s)
