The correct Answer is:
To determine the correct statements among the given options, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement A **Statement A:** "Source motion affects the wavelength but observer motion affects the number of waves received by him." - When the source of sound is in motion, it causes a change in wavelength due to the Doppler effect. If the source moves towards the observer, the wavelength decreases, and if it moves away, the wavelength increases. - When the observer is in motion, the rate at which they receive the wavefronts changes. If the observer moves towards the source, they encounter more wavefronts per unit time, effectively increasing the frequency perceived by the observer. **Conclusion for A:** This statement is correct. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement B **Statement B:** "The apparent change in frequency depends on the distance between source and observer." - The apparent frequency (or observed frequency) does depend on the relative velocities of the source and observer, not the distance between them. The Doppler effect is primarily influenced by how fast the source and observer are moving relative to each other, rather than the distance separating them. **Conclusion for B:** This statement is incorrect. ### Step 3: Analyze Statement C **Statement C:** "The echo and the direct note differ both in speed and intensity." - The speed of sound remains constant in a given medium regardless of whether it is a direct sound or an echo. Both the direct sound and the echo travel at the same speed. - However, the intensity of the echo may be less than that of the direct sound due to absorption and scattering when it reflects off surfaces. **Conclusion for C:** This statement is incorrect. ### Final Conclusion The only correct statement is **A**. ### Summary of Correct Statements: - **Correct Statement:** A - **Incorrect Statements:** B, C ---

A : In Doppler's effect the value of apparent frequency depends on the relative motion between source and observer . R : The change in frequency in Doppler effect is independent from the distance between source and observer .

Under what conditions there will be no Doppler effect or no change in frequency despite the motion of source and/or observer.

Statement(A): The reflection of sound from an extended object is echo Statement(B): The super position of waves of same frequency is beats Statement(C): The apparent change in frequency of source of sound due to relative motion between source and observer is Doppler effect Statement(D): The super position of wave of slightly differ in frequency is stationary waves

(A) : When a source moves towards a stationary observer, the speed of source relative to the observer remains unchanged. (R): The apparent change in frequency is due to change in the wavelength brought by the motion of the source.

(A): Apparent frequency is equal to actual frequency when there is no relative motion between source and observer. (R): When there is no relative motion between the source and observer the velocity of sound is zero

(a) Does the change in frequency due to Doppler effect depend on the distance between source (b)Does the change in frequency due to Doppler effect on the fact that source is moving towards the observer or observer is moving towards the source ?

A : Doppler's effect in sound is asymmetric but in light , it is symmetric R : In Sound , change in frequency depends on the individual velocity of both the source as well as the observer . In light , change in frequency depends on the relative velocity between source and observer .

(A): When an observer in motion 'passes by a stationary source the apparent frequency heard first continuously increases and then continously decreases. (R) : Apparent change in wavelength is not responsible for the change in frequency.

The apparent frequency and real frequency of sound are the same (A) If source of sound and observer are moving in the same direction with same speed (B) If source of sound and observer are moving in the opposite direction with the same speed

A stationary source emits sound of frequency upsilon=1200Hz . If a wind blows at the speed of 0.1c deduce (i) the percentage change in the wavelength and (ii) the change in the frequency for a stationary observer on the wind side of the source. What happens when there is no wind, but the observer moves at speed 0.1c towards the source?
