                    An observer moves towards a stationary source of sound with a speed 1/5th of the speed of sound. The wavelength and frequency of the source emitted are \[\lambda \] and f respectively. The apparent frequency and wavelength recorded by the observer are respectively:                                                                       

    A)                 \[f,\,1,\,2\lambda \]      

    B)                 \[0.8f,\,0.8\lambda \]   

    C)                 \[1.2f,\,1.2\lambda \]   

    D)                 \[1.2\,f,\,\lambda \]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    When an observer moves towards an stationary source of round, then apparent frequency heard by the observer increases. The apparent frequency heard in this situation                 \[f'=\left( \frac{v+{{v}_{0}}}{v-{{v}_{s}}} \right)\,f\]                 As source is stationary hence, \[{{v}_{s}}=0\]                 \[\therefore f'=\left( \frac{v+{{v}_{0}}}{v} \right)\,f\]                 Given,   \[{{v}_{0}}=\frac{v}{5}\]                 Substituting in the relation for\[f'\], we have                                 \[f'=\left( \frac{v+v/5}{v} \right)f\]                                 \[=\frac{6}{5}f=1.2\,f\]
