The frequency of echo will be \(.......Hz\) if the train blowing a whistle of frequency \(320\,Hz\) is moving with a velocity of \(36\,km / h\) towards a hill from which an echo is heard by the train driver. Velocity of sound in air is \(330\,m / s\).

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(340\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The hill will be a secondary source.

\(f _{1}=\) frequency of the car w.r.t. the hill

\(f_{1}=\left(\frac{v}{v-v_{ s }}\right) f=\left(\frac{330}{320}\right) \times 320=330 Hz\)

\(f _{2}=\) Frequency of the sound reflected by hill w.r.t. the car \((echo)\)

\(f_{2}=\left(\frac{v+v_{0}}{v}\right) f_{1}=\frac{(330+10)}{330} \times 330=340\,Hz\)
