JEE Main & Advanced Sample Paper JEE Main - Mock Test - 9

  • question_answer
    An observer moves towards a stationary source of sound with a speed 1/5th 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) \[0.8f, 0.8\lambda \]                    

    B) \[1.2\,f,\, 1.2\lambda \]

    C) \[1.2f,\,\,\lambda \]          

    D) \[f,\, 1.2\lambda \]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

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