  • question_answer
    A source of sound and an observer are approaching each other with the same speed, which is equal to \[\frac{1}{10}\]th times the speed of sound. The apparent relative change in the frequency of the source is

    A)  22.2 % increase               

    B)  22.2% decrease

    C)  18.2% decrease              

    D)  18.2% increase

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Speed of sound\[=v\](say) Speed of source = speed of observer\[=\frac{v}{10}\] Let natural frequency of sound\[=n\] Apparent frequency of sound \[n=n\left[ \frac{v-{{v}_{0}}}{v-{{v}_{s}}} \right]\] Since, source is moving in the direction of sound and observer moving towards, sources then \[{{v}_{0}}=\frac{v}{10}\]and\[{{v}_{s}}=\frac{v}{10}\]                 \[n=n\left[ \frac{v+\frac{v}{10}}{v-\frac{v}{10}} \right]=\frac{\frac{11v}{10}}{\frac{9v}{10}}\]                 \[n=\frac{11}{9}n\]                 \[n-n=\frac{11}{9}n-n=\frac{2}{9}n\]                 \[\frac{n-n}{n}=\frac{2}{9}\]                 \[\frac{n-n}{n}\times 100=\frac{2}{9}\times 100%\]                 \[=\frac{200}{9}%=22.2%\]
