A sound wave of frequency f travels hori...

A sound wave of frequency `f` travels horizontally to the right. It is reflected from a large vertical plane surface moving to left with a speed `v`. The speed of sound in medium is `C`

A

The number of wave striking the surface per second is `f (c+v)/(c)`

B

The wavelength of reflected wave is `(c(c-v))/(f(c+v))`

C

The frequency of the reflected wave is `"f"((c+v))/((c-v))`

D

The number of beats heard by a stationary listener to the left of the reflecting surface is `(vf)/(c-v)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C

No of wave striking the surface `f = f((c+v)/(c))`
`f=f ((c)/(c-v)) = f((c+v)/(c-v))`
`lamda = (c)/(f') = (c)/(f) ((c-v)/(c+v))`
