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, 1.2lambda`

B

`1.2f, lambda`

C

`f, 1.2lambda`

D

`0.8f, 0.8lambda`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Source of stationary `rArr lambda`= constant & `f'=(v+v_s)/v f =(1+v_s/v)f=(1+1/5)f=1.2f`
