If the pitch of the sound of a source appears to drop by`10%` to a moving person, then determine the velocity of motion of the person. Velocity of sound =`300ms^(-1)`.

A

`30ms^(-1)`

B

`11ms^(-1)`

C

`35ms^(-1)`

D

`33ms^(-1)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Apparent frequency `v.-((v-v_(0))/v)v`
`=(v.)/v=(v-v_(0))/vimplies90/100=(330-v_(0))/330`
[As pitch of the sound of a source is dropped by 10%]
`implies330-v_(0)=9xx33`
`impliesv_(0)=33ms^(-1)`
