    An observer moves towards a stationary source of sound with a velocity that is one-tenth the velocity of sound. The apparent change in frequency is

    A)  zero                                     

    B)  5%

    C)  10%                                      

    D)  0.1%

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    When the observer is moving towards a stationary source Apparent frequency \[v'=v\left[ \frac{v+{{v}_{0}}}{v} \right]\] Given,                   \[{{v}_{0}}=\frac{v}{10}\]                                 \[v'=v\left[ \frac{v+\frac{v}{10}}{v} \right]\]                                 \[v'=\frac{11}{10}v\] \[\therefore \] Change in frequency \[=\frac{11}{10}v-v\]                                                 \[=\frac{1}{10}v\] \[\therefore \]  % change =10%
