A source emitting a sound of frequency v...

A source emitting a sound of frequency v is placed at a large distance from an observer. The source starts moving towards the observer with a uniform acceleration a. Find the frequency heard by the observer corresponding to the wave emitted just after the source starts. The speed of sound in the medium is v.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B
Required frequency n
`=(v+v_0)/(v-v_s)v=v/(v-at).v`
`=(v.v)/(v-a.(1/(2v)))=(2vv^2)/(2vv-a)`

A source of sound moves towards an observer

A small source of sound S of frequency 500 Hz is attached to the end of a light string and is whirled in a vertical circle of radius 1.6 in. The string just remains tight when the source is at the highest point. (a) An observer is located in the same vertical plane at a large distance and at the same height as the centre of the circle. The speed of sound in air = 330 m s^-1 and g = 10ms^-2 . Find the maximum frequency heard by the observer. (b) An observer is situated at a large distance vertically above the centre of the circle. Find the frequencies heard by the observer corresponding to the sound emitted by the source When it is at the same height as the centre. ltbr.
