A car sounding a horn of frequency 1000 Hz passes a stationary observer. The ratio of frequencies of the horn noted by the observer before and after passing of the car is \(11: 9\). The speed of car is (Speed of sound \(v=340 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\) )

  1. A \(34 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
  2. B \(17 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
  3. C \(170 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
  4. D \(340 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(34 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{f}=1000 \mathrm{~Hz}\) When the car approaching the observer, \(f_1=\left(\frac{v}{v-v_s}\right) f\) When the car moving away from the observer,…
