A driver in a stationary car blows a horn which produces monochromatic sound waves of freqeuncy 1000 Hz normally towards a reflecting wall. The wall approaches the car with a speed of `3.3(m)/(s)`.

A

The frequency of sound reflected from wall and heard by the driver is 1020 Hz

B

The frequency of sound reflected from wall and heard by the deriver is 980 Hz

C

The percentage increase in frequency of sound after reflection from wall is `2%`

D

The percentage decrease in freqeuncy of sound after reflection from wall is `2%`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, C


`f'=f((v+v_(wall))/(v-v_(wall)))`
`f'=1000((340+3.3)/(340-3.3))=1020Hz`
`(f'-f)/(f)xx100=(trianglef)/(f)xx100=2%`

A driver in a stationary car horns which produces sound waves having frequency 2000 Hz. The waves are directed normally towards a reflecting wall. If the wall approaches the car with a velocity u = 3.3 m/s. The change in the frequency of sound after reflection from the wall is x%. Then x

A stationary source emits the sound of frequency f_0 = 492 Hz. The sound is reflected by a large car approaching the source with a speed of 2 ms^(-1) . The reflected signal is received by the source and superposed with the original. What will be the beat frequency of the resulting signal in Hz? (Given that the speed of sound in air is 330 ms^(-1) and the car reflects the sound at the frequency it has received).
