Waves Ques 77

77. A source and an observer move away from each other, with a velocity of $10 $ $m / s$ with respect to ground. If the observer finds the frequency of sound coming from the source as $1950$ $ Hz$, then original frequency of source is (velocity of sound in air $=340$ $ m / s$ )

[2001]

(a) $1950 $ $Hz$

(b) $2068 $ $Hz$

(c) $2132 $ $Hz$

(d) $2486 $ $Hz$

Answer:

Correct Answer: 77.(b)

Solution:

  1. (b) According to Doppler’s effect

$ n^{\prime}=(\frac{v-v_0}{v-v_s}) n=(\frac{340-10}{340+10}) n=\frac{330}{350} \times 1950 $

$ =2068 $ $Hz $
