A source of sound \(S\) is moving with the velocity of \(50\,m/s\) towards a stationary observer. The observer measures the frequency of the sound as \(1000\,Hz.\) What will be the apparent frequency of the source when it is moving away from the observer after crossing him ... \(Hz\) ? (Take velocity of sound in air is \(350\,m/s\) )

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(750\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{a}}=\frac{\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{V}-\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{s}}} \mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{o}}=1000 \mathrm{Hz}\)

\(\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{a}}^{\prime}=\frac{\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{V}+\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{s}}} \mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{o}}\)

\(\frac{f_{a}^{\prime}}{f_{a}}=\frac{V-V_{s}}{V+V_{s}}=\frac{350-50}{350+50}=\frac{300}{400}=\frac{3}{4}\)

\(\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{a}}^{\prime}=\frac{3}{4} \times 1000=750 \mathrm{Hz}\)
