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 ... \(Hz\)
Pick an option to check your answer.
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 \(=\left(f_{1}-f_{2}\right)\)
\(5=f\left(\frac{340}{340-5}-\frac{340}{340+5}\right)\)
\(\Rightarrow \mathrm{f}=170 \mathrm{Hz}\)
