JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 14. waves and sound

A bat moving at \(10\,ms^{-1}\) towards a wall sends a sound signal of \(8000\,Hz\) towards it. On reflection it hears a sound of frequency \(f\). The value of \(f\) in \(Hz\) is close to (speed of sound \(= 320\,ms^{-1}\) )

  1. A \(8516\)
  2. B \(8258\)
  3. C \(8424\)
  4. D \(8000\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(8516\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Reflected frequency of sound reaching bat \( = \left[ {\frac{{V - \left( {{V_0}} \right)}}{{V - {V_s}}}} \right]f = \left[ {\frac{{V + {V_0}}}{{V - {V_s}}}} \right]f = \frac{{V + 10}}{{V - 10}}f\) \( = \left( {\frac{{320 + 10}}{{320 - 10}}} \right) \times 8000 = 8516Hz\)
