A stationary source emits sound waves of frequency \(500\, Hz\). Two observers moving along a line passing through the source detect sound to be of frequencies \(480\, Hz\) and \(530\, Hz\). Their respective speeds are, in \(m\,s^{-1}\) (Given speed of sound \(= 300\, m/s\))

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(12, 18\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( v= \frac{v+v_{0}}{v} v_{0}\)

\(\Rightarrow v_{0}=\left(\frac{v}{v_{0}}-1\right) v\)

\(v_{0}=\left(\frac{530}{500}-1\right) 300=18 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\)

\(v_{0}=\left|\left(\frac{480}{500}-1\right) 300\right|=12 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\)
