Two cars are approaching each other at an equal speed of \(7.2\, km / hr\). When they see each other, both blow horns having frequency of \(676\, Hz\). The beat frequency heard by each driver will be \(.....\, Hz\). [Velocity of sound in air is \(340\,m / s .]\)
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(8\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Frequency of sound heard by car\(-1,\) which comes by reflection from car\(-2\)
\(f _{1}= f _{0}\left(\frac{340+2}{340-2}\right)\left(\frac{340+2}{340-2}\right)\)
\(= f _{0}\left(\frac{342}{338}\right)^{2}\)
Frequency of sound coming directly from car\(-2\)
\(f _{2}= f _{0}\left(\frac{340+2}{340-2}\right)\)
\(\therefore f _{1}- f _{2}= f _{0}\left(\frac{342}{338}\right)\left(\frac{342}{338}-1\right)=8.09 \simeq 8\)
