Show that when the speed of the source and the observer are small compared to the speed of sound in the medium, the change in frequency becomes independent of the fact whether the source is moving or the observer.

An isotropic stationary source is emitting waves of frequency n and wind is blowing due north. An observer A is on north of the source while observer B is on south the source. IF both the observers are stationary, then

On the same path, the source and observer are moving such a way that the distance between these two increases with the time. The speeds of source and observer are same and equal to 10ms^(-1) with respect to the ground while no wind in blowing. The apparent frequency received by observer is 1950 Hz then the original frequency must be (the speed of sound in present medium is 340 m//s

Three observers A, B and C measure the speed of light coming from a source to be v_A,v_B and v_C . The observer A moves towards the source and C moves away from the soure at the same speed. The observer B stays stationary. The surrounding space is vacuum everywhere .

Dopper's effect is sound in addition of relative velocity between source and observer, also depends while source and observer or both are moving. Doppler effecct in light depennd only on the relative velocity of source and observer. The reason of this is

A source of sound with natural frequency f_0=1800Hz moves uniformly along a straight line separated from a stationary observer by a distance l=250m . The velocity of the source is equal to eta=0.80 fraction of the velocity of the sound. Q. The distance between the source and the observer at the moment when the observer receives a frequency f=f_0 is

(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 source of sound with frequency 256 Hz is moving with a velocity V towards a wall and an observer is stationary between the source and the wall. When the observer is between the source and the wall he will hear beats.

Statement I: The apparent freqeuncy which is the frequency as noted by an observer or an observing detection device of the acoustic wave that moves from the source to the observer propagating in a medium may be different from its true frequency. Statement II: A source in motion relative to an observer sends out less or more number of waves per metre distance in the medium and an observer in motion collects less or more number of waves per second that when both of them remain at rest relatively.

Assertion : A sound source is approaching towards a stationary observer along the tine joining them. Then , apparent frequency to the observer will go on increasing. Reason : If there is no relative motion between source and observer , apparent frequency is equal to the actual frequency.
