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

  • question_answer
    An observer moves towards a stationary source of sound with a speed 1/8th of the speed of sound. The wavelength and frequency of the sound emitted are\[\lambda \]and\[f\]respectively. The apparent frequency and wavelength recorded by the observer are respectively.

    A)  \[0.4f,0.4\lambda \]

    B)  \[0.6f,1.6\lambda \]

    C) \[1.4f,\lambda \]

    D) \[1.1f,\lambda \]  

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] \[{{f}_{apparent}}=\left( \frac{u+u/5}{u} \right)f=\frac{6}{5}f=1.2f\] Wavelength remains constant (unchanged) in this case.
