Question

An object producing a sound of frequency 400 Hz approaches a stationary person with a speed of 200 ms–1. The speed of sound is 300 ms–1. As the object flies past him, the person will note a change in frequency of  

Solution

Correct option is

960 Hz

 

Given, us = 200 ms–1v = 300 ms–1 and V = 400 Hz. The apparent frequency when the source of sound approaches the stationary observer is given by 

                            

The apparent frequency when the source flies past him is
