A bus is moving with a velocity of \(5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) towards a wall. The driver blows the horn of frequency \(165 \mathrm{~Hz}\). If the speed of sound in air is \(335 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\), then after reflection of sound wave, the number of beats per second heard by the passengers in the bus will be

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 5

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f' = f \frac{v}{v - v_s}\) \(f' = 165 \frac{335}{335 - 5} = 165 \frac{335}{330} = 167.5 \mathrm{~Hz}\)
