RAJASTHAN PMT Rajasthan - PMT Solved Paper-2004

  • question_answer
    A traveller is running towards a stationary train. If the train sounds a horn of frequency n, the apparent frequency heard by the traveller will be:

    A)  \[n=n\left( \frac{\upsilon +{{\upsilon }_{0}}}{\upsilon } \right)\]              

    B)  \[n=n\left( \frac{\upsilon -{{\upsilon }_{0}}}{\upsilon +{{\upsilon }_{s}}} \right)\]

    C)  \[n=n\left( \frac{\upsilon +{{\upsilon }_{0}}}{\upsilon } \right)\]

    D)         none of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The apparent frequency heard by traveler moving towards stationary train \[n=n\left( \frac{\upsilon +{{\upsilon }_{0}}}{\upsilon +{{\upsilon }_{s}}} \right)\]    \[=n\left( \frac{\upsilon +{{\upsilon }_{0}}}{\upsilon } \right)\]     \[(\therefore {{\upsilon }_{s}}=0)\] where \[\upsilon =\]speed of sound,           \[{{\upsilon }_{0}}=\]speed of traveler
