A source of sound `S` emitting waves of frequency `100 Hz` and an observer `O` are located at some distance from each other. The source is moving with a speed of `19.4ms^-1` at an angle of `60^(@)` with the source observer line as shown in the figure. The observer is at rest. The apparent frequency observed by the observer (velocity of sound in air `330ms^-1`) is

A

103 Hz

B

106 Hz

C

97 Hz

D

100 Hz

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`v_(s)=19.4cos60^(@)`
`=9.7m//s`
`f.=f((v)/(v-v_(s)))`
`=100((330)/(330-9.7))`
`implies f.=103Hz`.
