The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will break it down into two parts as specified in the question. ### Part (a): Frequency detected by a receiver kept inside the river downstream 1. **Calculate the speed of sound in water (C)**: The speed of sound in a medium can be calculated using the formula: \[ C = \sqrt{\frac{B}{\rho}} \] where \(B\) is the bulk modulus and \(\rho\) is the density of the medium. Given: - Bulk modulus of water, \(B = 2.088 \times 10^9 \, \text{Pa}\) - Density of water, \(\rho = 10^3 \, \text{kg/m}^3\) Substituting the values: \[ C = \sqrt{\frac{2.088 \times 10^9}{10^3}} = \sqrt{2.088 \times 10^6} \approx 1444.5 \, \text{m/s} \] 2. **Identify velocities**: - Velocity of the boat (source), \(V_s = 10 \, \text{m/s}\) (moving downstream) - Velocity of the river (medium), \(V_m = 2 \, \text{m/s}\) (also downstream) - Velocity of the receiver (observer), \(V_o = 0 \, \text{m/s}\) (stationary in the water) 3. **Use the Doppler effect formula**: The frequency detected by the receiver can be calculated using the Doppler effect formula for sound in a moving medium: \[ f' = f \frac{C + V_m}{C + V_m - V_s} \] where \(f\) is the original frequency emitted by the transmitter. 4. **Calculate the original frequency (f)**: The original frequency can be calculated using the wavelength: \[ f = \frac{C}{\lambda} \] Given that the wavelength \(\lambda = 14.45 \, \text{mm} = 14.45 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m}\): \[ f = \frac{1444.5}{14.45 \times 10^{-3}} \approx 100,000 \, \text{Hz} \, (10^5 \, \text{Hz}) \] 5. **Substitute values into the Doppler effect formula**: \[ f' = 10^5 \frac{1444.5 + 2}{1444.5 + 2 - 10} \] \[ f' = 10^5 \frac{1446.5}{1436.5} \approx 10^5 \times 1.007 \] \[ f' \approx 100,700 \, \text{Hz} \] ### Part (b): Frequency detected by the receiver when both are in the air 1. **Calculate the speed of sound in air (C)**: The speed of sound in air can be calculated using the formula: \[ C = \sqrt{\frac{\gamma R T}{M}} \] where: - \(\gamma = 1.4\) - \(R = 8.31 \, \text{J/(mol K)}\) - \(T = 20 + 273.15 = 293.15 \, \text{K}\) - Mean molecular mass of air, \(M = 28.8 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{kg/mol}\) Substituting the values: \[ C = \sqrt{\frac{1.4 \times 8.31 \times 293.15}{28.8 \times 10^{-3}}} \approx 344 \, \text{m/s} \] 2. **Identify velocities in air**: - Velocity of the boat (source), \(V_s = 10 \, \text{m/s}\) (moving downstream) - Velocity of the air (medium), \(V_m = -5 \, \text{m/s}\) (upstream) - Velocity of the receiver (observer), \(V_o = 0 \, \text{m/s}\) (stationary in the air) 3. **Use the Doppler effect formula again**: \[ f'' = f' \frac{C + V_m}{C + V_m - V_s} \] Substituting the values: \[ f'' = 100,700 \frac{344 - 5}{344 - 5 - 10} \] \[ f'' = 100,700 \frac{339}{329} \approx 100,700 \times 1.0305 \] \[ f'' \approx 103,000 \, \text{Hz} \] ### Final Answers: - (a) The frequency detected by the receiver kept inside the river downstream is approximately **100,700 Hz**. - (b) The frequency detected by the receiver when both are in the air is approximately **103,000 Hz**.

To solve the problem step by step, we will break it down into two parts as specified in the question. ### Part (a): Frequency detected by a receiver kept inside the river downstream 1. **Calculate the speed of sound in water (C)**: The speed of sound in a medium can be calculated using the formula: \[ C = \sqrt{\frac{B}{\rho}} ...
