    The driver of a car travelling with speed 30 m/s towards a hill sounds a horn of frequency 600 Hz. If the velocity of sound in air is 330 m/s, the frequency of reflected sound as heard by driver is

    A)  500 Hz                        

    B)  550 Hz

    C)  555.5 Hz                     

    D)  720 Hz

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Here in 1st case, car is source and hill is observer. Let frequency heard at hill be v? \[v'=\frac{\nu {{v}_{sound}}}{{{v}_{sound\,-\,}}{{v}_{car}}}\] \[=\,\,\,\frac{600\times 330}{330-30}\] \[=\,\,\,\frac{600\times 330}{300}\] after reflection, the hill is source and driver is observer, Let frequency heard is \[{{v}_{f}}\] \[{{v}_{f}}=v'x\,\,\frac{({{v}_{sound}}+{{v}_{car}})}{{{v}_{sound}}}\] \[=\,\,\,\,\,\frac{600\times 330}{300}\,\,\times \,\frac{(330+30)}{330}\,\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,~{{v}_{f}}=720\,\,Hz\]
