A table is revolving on its axis at `5` revolutions per second. A sound source of frequency `1000 Hz `is fixed on the table at `70 cm` from the axis. The minimum frequency heard by a listener standing at a distance from the table will be (speed of sound `=352m//s`).

A

1000 Hz

B

1066 Hz

C

941 Hz

D

352 Hz

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the minimum frequency heard by a listener when a sound source is moving away from them. We will use the Doppler effect formula for sound. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Given Data:** - Frequency of the sound source, \( f = 1000 \, \text{Hz} \) - Speed of sound, \( v = 352 \, \text{m/s} \) - Radius from the axis to the sound source, \( r = 70 \, \text{cm} = 0.7 \, \text{m} \) - Revolutions per second, \( n = 5 \, \text{rev/s} \) 2. **Calculate Angular Velocity (ω):** - The angular velocity \( \omega \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ \omega = 2\pi n \] - Substituting \( n = 5 \): \[ \omega = 2\pi \times 5 = 10\pi \, \text{rad/s} \] 3. **Calculate Linear Velocity (v_s) of the Source:** - The linear velocity of the source moving in a circular path is given by: \[ v_s = r \omega \] - Substituting \( r = 0.7 \, \text{m} \) and \( \omega = 10\pi \): \[ v_s = 0.7 \times 10\pi \approx 22 \, \text{m/s} \] 4. **Apply the Doppler Effect Formula:** - The minimum frequency heard by the listener when the source is moving away is given by: \[ f' = f \frac{v}{v + v_s} \] - Substituting the values: \[ f' = 1000 \times \frac{352}{352 + 22} \] 5. **Calculate the Denominator:** - Calculate \( 352 + 22 = 374 \). 6. **Calculate the Minimum Frequency (f'):** - Now substitute back into the formula: \[ f' = 1000 \times \frac{352}{374} \] - Performing the calculation: \[ f' \approx 1000 \times 0.941 = 941 \, \text{Hz} \] 7. **Final Answer:** - The minimum frequency heard by the listener is approximately \( 941 \, \text{Hz} \).
