JEE Main & Advanced Physics Wave Mechanics JEE PYQ-Wave Mechanics

  • question_answer
    A stationary source emits sound waves of frequency 500 Hz. Two observers moving along a line passing through the source detect sound to be of frequencies 480 Hz and 530 Hz. Their respective speeds are, in \[m{{s}^{-1}},\] (Given speed of sound = 300 m/s)                                                            [JEE Main 10-4-2019 Morning]

    A)  16, 14

    B)       12, 18

    C)  12, 16             

    D)  8, 18

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] \[f=480=\frac{300-{{\text{v}}_{1}}}{300}\times 500\]
    \[\frac{1440}{5}=300-{{\text{v}}_{1}}\] \[{{\text{v}}_{1}}=\frac{60}{5}=12m/s\]
    \[530=\frac{300+{{\text{v}}_{2}}}{300}\times 500\]
    \[1590=1500+5{{\text{v}}_{2}}\]
    \[5{{\text{v}}_{2}}=90\]
    \[{{\text{v}}_{2}}=18m/s\]
