    If a source approaches and recedes from observer with same velocity, the ratio of frequencies (apparent) is 6 : 5, then velocity of source is: \[({{v}_{s}}=330\,m/s)\]

    A)  20 m/s        

    B)  10 m/s

    C)  30 m/s       

    D)  33 m/s

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     From Dopplers/effect, the perceived frequency when source approaches observer is \[n=n\left( \frac{v}{v-{{v}_{s}}} \right)\] ?(i) When source recedes the observer = \[n\,=n\left( \frac{v}{v+{{v}_{s}}} \right)\] ?(ii) From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get \[\frac{n}{n\,}=\frac{v+{{v}_{s}}}{v-{{v}_{s}}}\] \[\frac{6}{5}=\frac{330+{{v}_{s}}}{330-{{v}_{s}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[1980-6{{v}_{s}}=1650+5{{v}_{s}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[11{{v}_{s}}=1980-1650=330\] \[{{v}_{s}}=\frac{330}{11}=30\,m/s\]
