    With what velocity should an observer approach stationary sound source, so that the apparent frequency of sound appear to be double of the initial frequency? (given velocity of sound = v)

    A)  \[{{v}_{o}}=\frac{v}{2}\]

    B)  \[{{v}_{o}}=3v\]

    C)  \[{{v}_{o}}=2v\]

    D)  \[{{v}_{o}}=v\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    From Doppler?s effect, the perceived frequency is given by \[f'=f\left( \frac{v\pm {{v}_{o}}}{v\pm {{v}_{s}}} \right)\] where f  is original frequency, \[{{v}_{o}}\] the velocity of observer, \[{{v}_{s}}\] of source and v of sound. Given, \[{{v}_{s}}=0,\,\,\,\,{{f}_{1}}=f,\,\,\,\,{{f}_{2}}=2f\] \[\therefore \] s\[2f=f\left( \frac{v+{{v}_{o}}}{v+0} \right)\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{v}_{o}}=v\]
