An engine sounding a whistle of frequency \(2000 \mathrm{~Hz}\) is receding from the stationary observer at \(72 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}\). What is the apparent frequency of the observer? The velocity of sound in air is \(340 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\).

  1. A \(1889 \mathrm{~Hz}\)
  2. B \(2889 \mathrm{~Hz}\)
  3. C \(3889 \mathrm{~Hz}\)
  4. D \(4889 \mathrm{~Hz}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1889 \mathrm{~Hz}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Here a source is moving away from a stationary observer. So, frequency recorded at source will be lower than true frequency. Apparent frequency at observer, \(f^{\prime}=f\left(\frac{v}{v+v_s}\right)\) where, \(v=\) speed of sound \(=340 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) and…
