A boy riding on his bike is going towards east at a speed of `4sqrt2ms^-1`. At a certain point he produces a sound pulse of frequency 1650 Hz that travels in air at a speed of `334 m s^-1` . A second boy stands on the ground `45^@` south of east from him. Find the frequency of the pulse as received by the second boy.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`u=334 /s`
`v_b=4/2m/s, v_0=0`
So, `v_s=v_bcostheta`
`=4xxsqrt2xx(1/sqrt2)=4m/s`
So, the apparent frequency
`f=((u++)/(u-v_bcostheta))f`
`=(334/(334-4))xx1650=1670Hz`

Two men are walking along a horizontal straight line in the same direction. The man in front walks at a speed 1.0 ms^(-1) and the man behind walks at a speed 2.0 ms^(-1) . A third mad is standing at a height 12m above the same horizontal line such that all three men are in a vertical plane. The two walking men are blowing identical whistles which emit a sound of frequency 1430 Hz. The speed of sound in air is 330 ms^(-1) . At the instant, when the moving men are 10 m apart, the stationary man is equidistant from them. The frequency of beats in Hz, heard by the stationary man at this instant, is

To permit measurement of her speed a sky diver carries a buzzer emitting a steady tone at 1800 Hz. A friend on the ground at the landing site directly below listens to the amplified sound he receives. Assume the air is calm and the sound speed is 343 (m)/(s) independent of altitude. While the sky diver is falling at terminal speed, his friend on the ground receives waves of frequency 2150 Hz. (a) What is the sky diver's speed of descent? (b) Suppose the sky diver can hear the sound of the buzzer reflected from the ground. What frequency does she receive?
