When a train is approaching the observer...

When a train is approaching the observer, the frequency of the whistle is 100 cps while when it has passed the observer, it is 50 cps. Calculate the frequency when the observer' moves with the trail.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In case of approaching of source `100=(fV)/(V-V_(S))`
while in case of recession of source. `50=(fV)/(V+V_(s))`
Which on simplification gives `f=(200)/(3)=66.67Hz`
