Two cars \(A\) and \(B\) are moving away from each other in opposite directions. Both the cars are moving with a speed of \(20\, ms^{-1}\) with respect to the ground. If an observer in car \(A\) detects a frequency \(2000\, Hz\) of the sound coming from car \(B\), what is the natural frequency of the sound source of car \(B\) ....  \(Hz\) ? (speed of sound in air \(= 340\, ms^{-1}\))

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2250\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Doppler effect:
\(f=\left(\frac{v+u_{0}}{v-u_{s}}\right)\left(f_{0}\right)\)
\(2000=\left(\frac{340+(-20)}{340-(-20)}\right)\left(f_{0}\right)\)
\(\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{o}}=2250 \mathrm{Hz}\)
