With what velocity should an observer approach a stationary shound source so that the apparent frequency of shound should appear double the actual frequency ? (v is velocity of shound).

A

2v

B

v

C

`v//2`

D

3v

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`v_(obs)=v_("emitted")(("vel . if sound + vel . of observer"))/("vel . of sound")`
For the observed frequency change due to Doppler effect.
`v_("obs")"will be "2v_("emtted")` if velocity of the observer is equal to the velocity of sound.
