A source moves away from an obeserver with a certain speed, and the ratio of actual to the apparent frequency as heard by the observer in `eta`. If the two approach each other with the same speed, then find the ratio.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`f'=f((v)/(v+v'))`
Where `v'=v_S`
`implies(f)/(f')=eta(given)=1+(v')/(v)` .(i)
`f''=f((v+v')/(v-v'))`
where `v_0=v'`
`implies(f)/(f^''=(v-v')/(v+v')=(1-((v')/(v))/(1+((v')/(v))`
`=(1-(eta-1))/(1+(eta-1))=(2-eta)/(eta)=(2)/(eta)-1`

A sound source is moving towards a stationary observer with 1/10 of the speed of sound. The ratio of apparent to real frequency is

A sound source has frequency f. Source and observer both have same speed.For the apparent frequency observed by observer match the following.

If source and observer both are relatively at rest and if speed of sound is increased then frequency heard by observer will

When a source of frequency f_(0) moves away from a stationary observer with a certain velocity, an apparent frequency f' is observed. When it moves with the same speed towards the observer, the observed frequecy is 1.2 f' . If the velocity of sound is v, then the acutual frequency f_(0) is

A source emitting a sound of frequency f is placed at a large distance from an observer. The source starts moving towards the observer with a uniform acceleration a. Find the frequency heard by the observer corresponding to the wave emitted just after the source starts. The speed of sound in the medium is v.

A train blowing its whistle moves with a constant velocity v away from an observer on the ground. The ratio of the natural frequency of the whistle to that measured by the observer is found to be 1.2 . If the train is not rest and the observer moves away from it at the same velocity, this ratio would be given by

when a source is going away from a stationary observer with the velocity equal to that of sound in air , then the frequency heard by observer is n times the original frequency . The value of n is

the frequency changes by 10 % as the source approaches a stationary observer with constant speed v_(s) . What would be the percentage change in frequency as the sources reaccedes the observer with the same speed ? Given , that v_(s)lt lt v (v= speed pf sound in air )

A source is approaching towards an observer with constant speed along the line joining them. After crossing the observer, source recedes from observer with same speed. Let f is apparent frequency heard by observer. Then, 1) f will keep on increasing during approaching 2) f will keep on decreasing during receding 3) f will remain constant during approaching 4) f will remain constant during receding

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
