    A source of sound is moving away from a stationary observer with, velocity\[{{\upsilon }_{s}}\]. Velocity of sound is\[\upsilon \]. If n is the pitch of the source of sound, then the apparent pitch of sound heard by observer will be:

    A)  \[\left( \frac{\upsilon }{\upsilon +{{\upsilon }_{s}}} \right)n\]

    B)  \[\frac{(\upsilon +{{\upsilon }_{s}})n}{\upsilon }\]

    C)  \[\frac{{{\upsilon }_{n}}}{(\upsilon +{{\upsilon }_{s}})}\]

    D)  \[\frac{{{\upsilon }_{n}}}{(\upsilon -{{\upsilon }_{s}})}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Here: Velocity of source\[={{\upsilon }_{s}}\] Velocity of sound\[=\upsilon \] Pitch of the source\[=n\] From the Dopplers effect the apparent pitch of sound heard by the observer when the source of sound is moving away from a stationary observer is given by, \[=\left( \frac{\upsilon }{\upsilon +{{\upsilon }_{s}}} \right)n\]
