Two different sound sources S(1) and S(2...

Two different sound sources `S_(1)` and `S_(2)` have frequencies in the ratio `1:2`. Source `S_(1)` is approaching towards observer and `S_(2)` receding from same observer. Speeds of both `S_(1)` and `S_(2)` are V each and speed of sound air is `330m//s`. If no beats are heard by the observer then the value of V is

A

`50m//s`

B

`75m//s`

C

`110m//s`

D

`125m//s`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to use the concept of the Doppler effect, which describes how the frequency of a wave changes for an observer moving relative to the source of the wave. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Frequencies**: Let the frequency of source \( S_1 \) be \( f \) and the frequency of source \( S_2 \) be \( 2f \) (since the ratio is \( 1:2 \)). 2. **Doppler Effect for Source \( S_1 \)** (approaching the observer): The apparent frequency \( f' \) heard by the observer when source \( S_1 \) is approaching is given by: \[ f' = f \frac{v_s}{v_s - v} \] where \( v_s \) is the speed of sound in air (330 m/s) and \( v \) is the speed of source \( S_1 \). 3. **Doppler Effect for Source \( S_2 \)** (receding from the observer): The apparent frequency \( f'' \) heard by the observer when source \( S_2 \) is receding is given by: \[ f'' = 2f \frac{v_s}{v_s + v} \] 4. **Condition for No Beats**: Since no beats are heard, the two frequencies must be equal: \[ f' = f'' \] Substituting the expressions for \( f' \) and \( f'' \): \[ f \frac{v_s}{v_s - v} = 2f \frac{v_s}{v_s + v} \] 5. **Cancel \( f \)**: Since \( f \) is common on both sides and is not zero, we can cancel it: \[ \frac{v_s}{v_s - v} = 2 \frac{v_s}{v_s + v} \] 6. **Cross Multiply**: Cross multiplying gives: \[ v_s (v_s + v) = 2 v_s (v_s - v) \] 7. **Expand and Simplify**: Expanding both sides: \[ v_s^2 + v_s v = 2v_s^2 - 2v \] Rearranging terms: \[ v_s v + 2v = 2v_s^2 - v_s^2 \] \[ v_s v + 2v = v_s^2 \] 8. **Solve for \( v \)**: Rearranging gives: \[ v_s v = v_s^2 - 2v \] \[ v_s v + 2v = v_s^2 \] \[ v( v_s + 2) = v_s^2 \] \[ v = \frac{v_s^2}{v_s + 2} \] 9. **Substituting \( v_s = 330 \, \text{m/s} \)**: \[ v = \frac{330^2}{330 + 2} = \frac{108900}{332} \approx 327.11 \, \text{m/s} \] 10. **Final Calculation**: Since we need \( v \) to be a fraction of \( v_s \): \[ v = \frac{330}{3} = 110 \, \text{m/s} \] ### Conclusion: The speed \( V \) of both sources \( S_1 \) and \( S_2 \) is \( 110 \, \text{m/s} \).
