    A source of sound and an observer are approaching each other with the same speed, which is equal to \[\frac{1}{10}\]times the speed of sound. The apparent relative change in the frequency of the source is:

    A)  22.2% increase                                

    B)  22.2% decrease

    C)  18.2% decrease                              

    D)  18.2% increase

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     Speed of sound = v (say) Speed of source = speed of observer\[=\frac{v}{10}\] (given) Let natural frequency of sound = n Apparent frequency of sound \[=n=n\left( \frac{v-{{v}_{o}}}{v-{{v}_{S}}} \right)\] Since, source is moving in the direction of  sound and observer moving towards source then \[{{v}_{O}}=\frac{v}{10}\]and \[{{v}_{S}}=\frac{v}{10}\] \[\therefore \]  \[n=n\frac{\left( v+\frac{v}{10} \right)}{\left( v-\frac{1}{10} \right)}=\left( \frac{\frac{11v}{10}}{\frac{9v}{10}} \right)\]                 \[n=\frac{11}{9}n\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[n-n=\frac{11}{9}n-n=\frac{2}{9}n\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{n-n}{n}=\frac{2}{9}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{n-n}{n}\times 100%=\frac{2}{9}\times 100%\]                 \[=\frac{200}{9}%=22.22\] \[\therefore \] Percentage increase in apparent change in frequency of sound = 22.2%.
