JEE Main & Advanced Physics Wave Mechanics Question Bank Self Evaluation Test - Waves

  • question_answer
    In the figure shown the wave speed is v. The velocity of car is \[{{v}_{0}}\]. The beat frequency for the observer will be         

    A)  \[\frac{2{{f}_{0}}v{{v}_{0}}}{{{v}^{2}}+v_{0}^{2}}\]

    B)  \[\frac{2{{f}_{0}}{{v}^{2}}}{{{v}^{2}}-v_{0}^{2}}\]

    C) \[\frac{2{{f}_{0}}v{{v}_{0}}}{{{v}^{2}}-{{v}_{0}}^{2}}\]

    D) \[\frac{{{f}_{0}}v{{v}_{0}}}{{{v}^{2}}-{{v}_{0}}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] \[{{f}_{2}}=\frac{{{f}_{0}}v}{v+{{v}_{0}}}\]  The wave which reaches wall \[{{f}_{1}}\] is reflected. \[{{f}_{1}}=\frac{{{f}_{0}}v}{v-{{v}_{0}}}\] The reflected frequency is \[{{f}_{1}}\]as the wall is at rest. Beats\[={{f}_{1}}-{{f}_{2}}=\frac{{{f}_{0}}v}{v-{{v}_{0}}}-\frac{{{f}_{0}}v}{v+{{v}_{0}}}=\frac{2{{f}_{0}}v{{v}_{0}}}{{{v}^{2}}-{{v}_{0}}^{2}}\]
