If a source emitting waves of frequency \(f\) moves towards an observer with a velocity \(\frac{v}{4}\) and the observer moves away from the source with a velocity \(v / 6\), the apparent frequency as heard by the observer will be \((v=\) velocity of sound)

  1. A \(\frac{14}{15} f\)
  2. B \(\frac{14}{9} f\)
  3. C \(\frac{10}{9} f\)
  4. D \(\frac{2}{3} f\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{10}{9} f\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When source and observer both are moving in the same direction and observer is ahead of source, then apparent frequency
\(f^{\prime}=\frac{v-v_{o}}{v-v_{s}} f\)
\(=\frac{v-\frac{v}{6}}{v-\frac{v}{4}}=\frac{\frac{5 v}{6}}{\frac{3 v}{4}} f=\frac{10}{9} f\)
