Statement I: The apparent freqeuncy which is the frequency as noted by an observer or an observing detection device of the acoustic wave that moves from the source to the observer propagating in a medium may be different from its true frequency.
Statement II: A source in motion relative to an observer sends out less or more number of waves per metre distance in the medium and an observer in motion collects less or more number of waves per second that when both of them remain at rest relatively.

The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given statements regarding the apparent frequency of sound waves and the effects of motion, we can break down the solution step by step. ### Step 1: Understand Statement I **Statement I:** The apparent frequency, which is the frequency noted by an observer of an acoustic wave, may differ from its true frequency when the source or observer is in motion. **Explanation:** This statement is based on the Doppler Effect, which describes how the frequency of a wave changes for an observer moving relative to the source of the wave. When the source of sound moves towards the observer, the waves are compressed, leading to a higher apparent frequency. Conversely, if the source moves away, the waves are stretched, resulting in a lower apparent frequency. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement II **Statement II:** A source in motion relative to an observer sends out fewer or more waves per meter distance in the medium, and an observer in motion collects fewer or more waves per second compared to when both are at rest. **Explanation:** This statement also relates to the Doppler Effect. When the source moves, the rate at which waves are emitted changes due to the motion. If the source moves towards the observer, the observer encounters more waves per second (higher frequency). If the observer moves towards the source, they also encounter more waves per second. Thus, both the motion of the source and the observer affects the frequency perceived. ### Step 3: Conclusion Both statements are true. However, Statement II does not provide a correct explanation for Statement I. While both statements discuss the effects of motion on frequency, Statement II elaborates on the mechanics of wave interaction, which is not a direct explanation of why the apparent frequency differs from the true frequency. ### Final Answer - Statement I is true. - Statement II is true but does not correctly explain Statement I. - Therefore, the correct option is **B**. ---

When the medium moves and the source and observer are stationary:

A source of sound moves towards an observer

A source of sound moves towards an observe.

The apparent frequency and real frequency of sound are the same (A) If source of sound and observer are moving in the same direction with same speed (B) If source of sound and observer are moving in the opposite direction with the same speed

(A): Apparent frequency is equal to actual frequency when there is no relative motion between source and observer. (R): When there is no relative motion between the source and observer the velocity of sound is zero

Show that when the speed of the source and the observer are small compared to the speed of sound in the medium, the change in frequency becomes independent of the fact whether the source is moving or the observer.

(A): When an observer moves towards a stationary source, the frequency of sound heard is greater than the actual frequency (R) : Apparent frequency increases because the observer intercepts more number of waves when he moves towards the source.

A source of sound emitting a note of frequency 200 Hz moves towards an observer with a velocity v equal to the velocity of sound. If the observer also moves away from the source with the same velocity v, the apparent frequency heard by the observer is

(A): When a sound source moves towards observer, then frequency of sound increases. (R): Wavelength of sound in medium towards observer is decreased.

An observer moves towards a stationary source of sound. The percentage change in the apparent frequency is
