A source `S` of sound wave of fixed frequency `N` and an observer `O` are located in air initially at the space points `A` and `B`, a fixed distance apart. State in which of the following cases, the observer will NOT see any Doppler effect and will receive the same frequency `N` as produced by the source.

A

Both the source `S` and observer `O` remain stationary but a wind blows with a constant speed in an arbitrary direction.

B

The observer remains stationary but the source `S` moves parallel to and in the same direction and with the same speed as the wind.

C

The source remains stationary but the observer and the wind have the same speed away from the source.

D

The source and the observer move directly against the wind but both with the same speed.

The correct Answer is:
To determine in which case the observer will not experience any Doppler effect and will receive the same frequency \( N \) as produced by the source \( S \), we can analyze each scenario based on the principles of the Doppler effect. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Doppler Effect**: The Doppler effect describes the change in frequency of a wave in relation to an observer moving relative to the wave source. The formula for the apparent frequency \( f' \) is given by: \[ f' = f \left( \frac{v + v_o}{v + v_s} \right) \] where: - \( f \) = actual frequency of the source - \( v \) = speed of sound in the medium - \( v_o \) = speed of the observer (positive if moving towards the source) - \( v_s \) = speed of the source (positive if moving away from the observer) 2. **Case Analysis**: - **Case 1**: Both the source and observer are stationary, but wind blows with a constant speed in an arbitrary direction. - Here, \( v_o = 0 \) and \( v_s = 0 \). The wind does not affect the frequency received by the observer since the speeds in the numerator and denominator will be equal. Thus, \( f' = f \). **No Doppler effect.** - **Case 2**: The observer remains stationary, but the source moves parallel and in the same direction as the wind. - In this scenario, the source is moving, so \( v_s \neq 0 \) while \( v_o = 0 \). The observer will perceive a different frequency due to the motion of the source. **Doppler effect occurs.** - **Case 3**: The source is stationary, but the observer and the wind have the same speed moving away from the source. - Here, \( v_s = 0 \) and \( v_o \neq 0 \). The observer will perceive a different frequency because the observer is moving away from the stationary source. **Doppler effect occurs.** - **Case 4**: Both the source and observer move directly against the wind, but both with the same speed. - In this case, both the source and observer are moving with the same speed, resulting in no relative motion between them. Thus, \( v_o = v_s \) and the relative velocities cancel out, leading to \( f' = f \). **No Doppler effect.** 3. **Conclusion**: The observer will not see any Doppler effect and will receive the same frequency \( N \) in **Case 1** and **Case 4**. ### Final Answer: The observer will NOT see any Doppler effect and will receive the same frequency \( N \) in: - Case 1: Both the source and observer are stationary, but wind blows with a constant speed in an arbitrary direction. - Case 4: Both the source and observer move directly against the wind, but both with the same speed.
