With what velocity should an observer approach a stationary sound source, so that the apparent frequency of sound should appear double the actual frequency? ( is velocity of sound).

  1. A \(\frac{v}{2}\)
  2. B \(3 \mathrm{v}\)
  3. C \(2 \mathrm{~V}\)
  4. D None of these
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) None of these

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

By using
\(\begin{gathered}v^{\prime}=v\left[\frac{v-v_{0}}{v-v_{s}}\right] \\2 v=v\left[\frac{v-v_{0}}{v-0}\right]\end{gathered}\)
\(\Rightarrow \mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{o}}=-\mathrm{v} .\)
Negative sign indicates that observer is moving opposite to the direction of velocity of sound.
