A sound source and listener are both stationary and a strong wind is blowing. Is there a Doppler effect?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Yes, It does not matter whether the sound source or the transmission media are in motion, vibrations will be compressed in the direction of convergence and dilated in the direction of divergence .

Mention two cases in which there is no Doppler effect in sound?

A source and listener are both moving towards each other with a speed v/10 where v is the speed of sound. If the frequency of the note emitted by the source is f, what will be the frequency heard by the listener?

In discussing Doppler effect, we use the word "apparent frequency". Does it mean that the frequency of the sound is still that of the source and it is some physiological phenomenon in the listener's ear that gives rise to Doppler effect ? Think for the observer approaching the source and for the source approaching the observer.

Mention two effects of strong winds.

A source of sound and a listener are approaching each other with a speed of 40ms^(-1) The apparent frequency of a note produced by the source is 400 Hz. Then its true frequency is (velocity of sound in air = 360 ms^(-1) )

Two friends A and B are standing a distance x apart in an open field and wind is blowing from A to B. A beats a drum and B hears the sound t_1 timed after he sees the event. A and B interchange their positions and the experiment is repeated. The velocity of sound in still air is v and the velocity of wind is u . This time B hears the drum t_2 time after he sees the event. Suppose A and B change their positions in such a way that the line joining them becomes perpendicular to the direction of wind while maintaining the separation x . What will be the time lag B finds between seeing and hearing the drum beating by A?
