JEE Main & Advanced Physics Wave Mechanics Question Bank Doppler's Effect

  • question_answer
    A source of sound is travelling towards a stationary observer. The frequency of sound heard by the observer is of three times the original frequency. The velocity of sound is v m/sec. The speed of source will be [MP PET 1991]

    A)            \[\frac{2}{3}v\]                   

    B)            v

    C)            \[\frac{3}{2}v\]                   

    D)            3v

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               \[{n}'=n\,\left( \frac{v}{v-{{v}_{S}}} \right)\]Þ\[\frac{n'}{n}=\frac{v}{v-{{v}_{S}}}\Rightarrow \frac{v}{v-{{v}_{S}}}=3\Rightarrow {{v}_{s}}=\frac{2v}{3}\]
