A stationary source emits sound of frequency
`upsilon=1200Hz`. If a wind blows at the speed of 0.1c deduce (i) the percentage change in the wavelength and (ii) the change in the frequency for a stationary observer on the wind side of the source. What happens when there is no wind, but the observer moves at speed 0.1c towards the source?

To solve the problem, we need to break it down into steps. We will first find the percentage change in wavelength and then the change in frequency for a stationary observer on the wind side of the source. Finally, we will analyze the scenario where there is no wind, but the observer moves towards the source. ### Step 1: Understand the Given Information - Frequency of the sound source, \( f = 1200 \, \text{Hz} \) - Speed of wind, \( v_w = 0.1c \) (where \( c \) is the speed of sound in air) - Speed of source, \( v_s = 0 \) (stationary source) - Speed of observer, \( v_o = 0 \) (stationary observer) ...

A stationary source emits sound of frequency 1200 Hz. If would blows at the speed of 0.1 v. deduce (a) The change in the frequency for a stationary observer on the wind side of the source (b) Report the calculations for the case when there is no wind but the observer moves at 0.1 v speed towards the source (Given : velocity of sound = v)

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.
