A source of sound emits sound wave of frequency ' \(f\) ' and moves towards an observer with a velocity \(\frac{\mathrm{V}}{3}\) where V is the velocity of sound. If the observer moves away from the source with a velocity \(\frac{\mathrm{V}}{5}\) the apparent frequency heard by him will be

  1. A \(\frac{15}{2} f\)
  2. B \(\frac{8}{15} \mathrm{f}\)
  3. C \(\frac{6}{5} \mathrm{f}\)
  4. D \(\frac{15}{18} \mathrm{f}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{6}{5} \mathrm{f}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f' = f \left( \frac{V - v_o}{V - v_s} \right)\) \(f' = f \left( \frac{V - \frac{V}{5}}{V - \frac{V}{3}} \right)\)
