Physics of Sound

  1. A source and an observer move away from each other, with a velocity of 10m/s with respect to ground. If the observer finds the frequency of sound coming from the source as 1950 Hz, then original frequency of source is (velocity of sound in air = 340 m/s)
    1. 1950 Hz
    2. 2068 Hz
    3. 2132 Hz
    4. 2486 Hz
Correct Option: B

According to Doppler's effect

n' =
v - v0
n =
340 - 10
n =
330
× 1950 = 2068 Hz
v - vs340 + 10350
