A driver in a car, approaching a vertical wall notices that the frequency of his car horn, has changed from \(440\, Hz\) to \(480 \,Hz ,\) when it gets reflected from the wall. If the speed of sound in air is \(345 \,m / s ,\) then the speed of the car is \(.......km/hr\)
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(54\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(f _{1}=\) frequency heard by wall \(= f _{ s }=\left(\frac{ v _{ s }}{ v _{ s }- v _{ c }}\right)\)
\(f _{2}=\) frequency heard by driver after reflection from wall
\(f_{2}=\left(\frac{v_{s}+v_{c}}{v_{s}}\right) f_{1}=\left(\frac{v_{s}+v_{c}}{v_{s}-v_{c}}\right) f_{0}\)
\(\frac{f_{2}}{f_{0}}=\frac{v_{s}-v_{c}}{v_{s}+v_{c}}\)
\(\frac{48}{44}=\frac{v_{s}-v_{c}}{v_{s}+v_{c}}\)
\(12\left( v _{ s }+ v _{ c }\right)=11\left( v _{ s }- v _{ c }\right)\)
\(23 v _{ c }= v _{ s }\)
\(v _{ c }=\frac{ v _{ s }}{23}=\frac{345}{23}=15 m / s\)
\(=\frac{15 \times 18}{5}=54 km / hr\)
