    A body is moving forward and backward Change in frequency observed by the body of a source is 2%. What is velocity of the body? (speed of sound is 300 m/s)

    A)  6 m/s          

    B)  2 m/s

    C)  2.5 m/s        

    D)  3 m/s

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Here, body is acting as an observer. According to the given case, let u be the velocity of th body then, \[{{v}_{1}}=v\left( \frac{v-u}{v} \right)\] and \[{{v}_{2}}=v\left( \frac{v+u}{v} \right)\] \[\therefore \] \[\Delta v={{v}_{2}}-{{v}_{1}}=v\frac{2u}{v}\] So, \[\frac{\Delta v}{v}\times 100=\frac{2u}{v}\times 100\] or \[2=\frac{2u}{v}\times 100\] or \[u=\frac{v}{100}=3\,m/s\]
