JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 14. waves and sound
A train moves towards a stationary observer with speed \(34\, m/s\). The train sounds a whistle and its frequency registered by the observer is \(f_1\). If the speed of the train is reduced to \(17\, m/s\), the frequency registered is \(f_2\). If speed of sound is \(340\, m/s\), then the ratio \(f_1/f_2\) is
- A \(18/17\)
- B \(19/18\)
- C \(20/19\)
- D \(21/20\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(19/18\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\mathrm{f}_{1}=\mathrm{f}_{0}\left(\frac{340}{340-34}\right) \quad ; \quad \mathrm{f}_{2}=\mathrm{f}_{0}\left(\frac{340}{340-17}\right)\) \(\frac{f_{1}}{f_{2}}=\frac{323}{306}=\frac{19}{18}\)

At the central point of the pattern when path difference is zero, maxima of both the patterns coincide and the resulting interference pattern is most distinct at the region of zero path difference. But as one moves out of this central region, the two fringe systems are gradually out of step such that maximum due to on wavelength coincides with the minimum due to the other and the combined fringe system becomes completely indistinct.
