A train moving at a speed of 220 m/s towards a stationary object , emits a sound of frequency 1000 Hz . Some of the sound reaching the object gets reflected back to the train as echo . The frequency of the echo as detected by the driver of the train is

A

3000 Hz

B

3500 Hz

C

4000 Hz

D

5000 Hz

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`f. = ((330 + 220)/(330 + 220)) xx 1000 = 5000` Hz
