An engine is moving on a circular path of radius \(200 \mathrm{~m}\) with speed of \(15 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\). What will be the frequency heard by an observer who is at rest at the centre of the circular path, when engine blows the whistle with frequency \(250 \mathrm{~Hz}\)?
- A Less than \(250 \mathrm{~Hz}\)
- B Greater than \(250 \mathrm{~Hz}\)
- C \(250 \mathrm{~Hz}\)
- D Zero
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(250 \mathrm{~Hz}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The velocity of the engine is always tangential to the circular path, which is perpendicular to the line connecting the engine (source) and the observer at the center. Therefore, the component of the source's velocity along the line of sight to the observer is zero.
