When both the listener and source are moving towards each other, then which of the following is true regarding frequency and wavelength of wave obserseved by the observer?

A

More frequency, less wavelength

B

More frequency, more wavelength

C

Less frequency , less wavelength

D

More frequency, constant wavelength

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Both source and listener are approaching each other.

`:.v'gtv`
Also `lamda'ltlamda`
So, listener, listens more frequency and observes less wavelength.

Source of sound and observer are moving towards each other, the observer will hear

When the light source is moving towards an observer,

A source of sound is located in a medium in which speed of sound is V and an observer is located in a medium in which speed of sound is 2V. Both the source and observer are moving directly towards each other at velocity V/5 . The source has a frequency of f_(0) . (a) Find the wavelength of wave in the medium in which the observer is located. (b) Find the frequency received by the observer.

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 source and a listener are both moving towards each other with speed v//10 , where v is the speed of sound. If the frequency of the note emitted by the source is f , the frequency heard by the listener would be nearly

When both source and listener approach each other with a velocity equal to half the velocity of sound,the change in frequency of the sound as detected by listener is
