With what velocity an observer should move relative to a stationary source so that
a sound of double the frequency of source is heard by an observer?

  1. A Half the velocity of sound towards the source.
  2. B Same as velocity of sound away from the source.
  3. C Twice the velocity of sound towards the source.
  4. D Same as velocity of sound towards the source.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Same as velocity of sound towards the source.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Correct option is A)
By using \(n^{\prime}=n\left(\frac{v}{v-v_{s}}\right)\)
\(2 \mathrm{n}=\mathrm{n}\left(\frac{\mathrm{v}-\mathrm{v}_{0}}{\mathrm{v}-0}\right)\)
\(\Rightarrow \mathrm{v}_{0}=-\mathrm{v}=-(\) Speed of sound \()\)
Negative sign indicates that observer is moving opposite to the direction of velocity of sound, as shown
