An observer moves towards a stationary source of sound with a speed `((1)/(5))`th of the speed of sound. The wavelength and frequency of the source emitted are `lamda` and f, respectively. The apparent frequency and wavelength recorded by the observer are, respectively.

A

`1.2f, 1.2 lambda`

B

`1.2f, lambda`

C

`f, 1.2 lambda`

D

`0.8f, 0.8 lambda`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Apparent frequency, `f.=(v+v_(0))/(v)f`
`rArr f.=(v+(1//5)v)/(v)f=1.2f`
Wavelength does not change by motion of observer.
