AI Generated Solution

To determine whether a person at the center of a merry-go-round observes the Doppler effect when a person riding on the merry-go-round emits sound waves, we can analyze the situation step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Doppler Effect**: The Doppler effect refers to the change in frequency (or wavelength) of a wave in relation to an observer moving relative to the source of the wave. It occurs when there is a relative motion between the source and the observer along the line connecting them. 2. **Identifying the Scenario**: In this scenario, we have two individuals: one person (let's call them Person M) is riding on a merry-go-round and emitting sound waves, while the other person (Person C) is at the center of the merry-go-round. ...

A fixed source of sound emitting a certain frequency appears as f_(a) when the observer is apporoaching the source with upsilon_(0) and f_(r) when the observer recedes from the source with the same speed. The frequency of source is

A stationary source emits sound waves of frequency 500 Hz. Two observes moving along a line passing through the source detect sount to be of frequencies 480 Hz and 530 Hz.Their respective speeds are, in ms^(-1) (Given speed of sound =300 m//s )

An observer is moving with a constant speed of 20m/s on a circular track of radius 50m. A source kept at centre of track emits a sound of frequency 200 Hz. Then the frequency received by the observer is x xx10^2 Hz, what is value of x. (V= 340m/s)

A person standing at a distance of 6 m from a source of sound receives sound wave in two ways, one directly from the source and other after reflection from a rigid boundary as shown in the figure. The maximum wavelength for which, the person will receive maximum sound intensity, is
