AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Waves and Sound

A small source of sound vibrating at a frequency \(500 \mathrm{~Hz}\) is rotated along a circle of radius \(\frac{100}{\pi} \mathrm{cm}\) at a constant angular speed of 5 revolutions per second. The minimum and maximum frequency of the sound observed by a listener situation in the plane of the circle is (speed of sound is \(332 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\) )

  1. A 338.5 Hz, 612.5 Hz
  2. B 485.4 Hz, 535.6 Hz
  3. C 435.3 Hz, 565.6 Hz
  4. D 485.4 Hz, 515.5 Hz

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 485.4 Hz, 515.5 Hz

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The linear velocity of whistle, \(v_s=r \omega\) \[ \begin{aligned} v_s & =\frac{100}{\pi} \mathrm{cm} \times 5 \mathrm{rev} / \mathrm{s} \\ & =\frac{1}{\pi} \mathrm{m} \times 2 \pi \times 5 \mathrm{rev} / \mathrm{s}=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} \end{aligned} \] When whistle…
