The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of apparent change in frequency when a source moves away from a stationary observer and when an observer approaches a stationary source, we can use the Doppler effect equations. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Scenario**: - When the source moves away from the observer, the frequency observed by the observer decreases. - When the observer approaches the stationary source, the frequency observed by the observer increases. 2. **Define Variables**: - Let \( f_0 \) be the actual frequency of the source. - Let \( v \) be the velocity of the source or observer. - Let \( V \) be the speed of sound in air. - Let \( f_1 \) be the frequency observed when the source is moving away. - Let \( f_2 \) be the frequency observed when the observer is moving towards the source. 3. **Frequency Change When Source Moves Away**: - The formula for the frequency observed when the source is moving away is given by: \[ f_1 = f_0 \left( \frac{V}{V + v} \right) \] - The change in frequency, \( \Delta n_1 \), is: \[ \Delta n_1 = f_0 - f_1 = f_0 - f_0 \left( \frac{V}{V + v} \right) = f_0 \left( 1 - \frac{V}{V + v} \right) \] - Simplifying this gives: \[ \Delta n_1 = f_0 \left( \frac{v}{V + v} \right) \] 4. **Frequency Change When Observer Approaches**: - The formula for the frequency observed when the observer is moving towards the source is given by: \[ f_2 = f_0 \left( \frac{V + v}{V} \right) \] - The change in frequency, \( \Delta n_2 \), is: \[ \Delta n_2 = f_2 - f_0 = f_0 \left( \frac{V + v}{V} \right) - f_0 = f_0 \left( \frac{v}{V} \right) \] 5. **Comparing Changes in Frequency**: - Now we have: \[ \Delta n_1 = f_0 \left( \frac{v}{V + v} \right) \] \[ \Delta n_2 = f_0 \left( \frac{v}{V} \right) \] - To compare \( \Delta n_1 \) and \( \Delta n_2 \): \[ \Delta n_1 = \frac{v}{V + v} \Delta n_2 \] - This shows that \( \Delta n_1 < \Delta n_2 \) because \( V + v > V \). ### Conclusion: When the source moves away from the observer, the change in frequency \( \Delta n_1 \) is less than the change in frequency \( \Delta n_2 \) when the observer approaches the stationary source. ---
