A person observes two moving trains. First reaching the station and another leaves the station with equal speed of \(30 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\). If both trains emit sounds of frequency 300 Hz , difference of frequencies heard by the person will be (speed of sound in air \(=330 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) )

  1. A 80 Hz
  2. B 75 Hz
  3. C 55 Hz
  4. D 45 Hz
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 55 Hz

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f_{appr} = f_s \left( \frac{v}{v - v_s} \right)\) \(f_{appr} = 300 \left( \frac{330}{330 - 30} \right) = 330 \, \text{Hz}\)
