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

A toy-car, blowing its horn, is moving with a steady speed of \(5\, m/s\) , away from a wall. An observer, towards whom the toy car is moving, is able to hear \(5\, beats\) per second. If the velocity of sound in air is \(340\, m/s\), the frequency of the horn of the toy car is close to  ... \(Hz\)

  1. A \(680\)
  2. B \(510\)
  3. C \(340\)
  4. D \(167\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(167\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

From Doppler's effect \(f(\text { direct })=f\left(\frac{340}{340-5}\right)=f_{1}\) \(f\left(b y \text { wall) } f\left(\frac{340}{340+5}\right)=f_{2}\right.\) Beats \(=\left(f_{1}-f_{2}\right)\) \(5=f\left(\frac{340}{340-5}-\frac{340}{340+5}\right)\)…
