Question

The difference between the apparent frequencies of a source of sound as perceived by an observer during its approach and recession is 2% of the actual frequency of the source. If the speed of sound in air is 300 ms–1, the speed of the source is

Solution

Correct option is

3 ms–1

 

The apparent frequencies during approach and during recession respectively are

                          

Since             is very small compared to V, it follows that us < < v

Thus Eq. (i) reduces to
