    A whistle of frequency 500 Hz tied to the end of a string of length 1-2 m revolves at 400 rev/min. A listener standing some distance away in the plane of rotation of whistle nears frequencies in the rays (speed of sound =340 m/s):

    A)  436 to 586

    B)  426 to 574

    C)  436 to 574

    D)  436 to 574

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Velocity of the source is given by \[{{\upsilon }_{s}}=r\omega =r.2\pi f\] \[(f=400rev/min=\frac{400}{60}rev/sec)\]given \[=1.2\times 2\times 3.14\times \left( \frac{400}{60} \right)=50m/s\] Minimum frequency of whistle listen by man is given by \[{{n}_{\min }}=\frac{\upsilon }{\upsilon +{{\upsilon }_{s}}}=\frac{340}{340+50}\times 500=435.89Hz\] \[\approx 436Hz\] Maximum frequency of whistle listen by man is given by \[n\max =\frac{\upsilon }{\upsilon -{{\upsilon }_{s}}}=\frac{340}{340-50}\times 500=586.20\] \[\approx 586Hz\]
