Physics of Sound

  1. Two cars moving in opposite directions approach each other with speed of 22 m/s and 16.5 m/s respectively. The driver of the first car blows a horn having a frequency 400 Hz. The frequency heard by the driver of the second car is [velocity of sound 340 m/s] :-
    1. 361 Hz
    2. 411 Hz
    3. 448 Hz
    4. 350 Hz
Correct Option: C

As we known from Doppler's Effect

fapprent = f0
v + v0
= 400
340 + 16.5
v - vs340 - 22

fapprent = 448 Hz
