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 \(340\,m / s .]\)

  1. A \(8\)
  2. B \(16\)
  3. C \(32\)
  4. D \(24\)
Verified Solution

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\(-2\)…
