MCQ
A policeman on duty detects a drop of $10 \%$ in the pitch of the hom of motion of car as it crosses him. If the velocity of sound is $330 \,m / s$. Calculate the speed of the car ........... $m / s$
- ✓$36.7$
- B$20.4$
- C$18.6$
- D$16.4$
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
$36.7$
a
(a)
(a)
drop q $10 \% \Rightarrow$ heard frequemy was $90 \%$ of original so if orisinal $=\nu$ then apparent $=0.9 \nu$ usins $\nu^{\prime}=\nu\left(\frac{v}{v+v s}\right) \quad$; vs $=\frac{\text { speed of }}{\text { car. }}$ put $\nu^{\prime}=0.9 v$
we qet $0.9=\frac{v}{v+u s} \Rightarrow 0.9 v+0.9 v s=v$
or $\quad 0.9 v_s=0.1 V \Rightarrow v_s=\frac{V}{9}$
put $v=330 \,m / s \quad U_s=\frac{330}{9}=36.7 \,m / s$

$S_1$ and $S_2$ are two identical sound sources of frequency $656 Hz$. The source $S_1$ is located at $O$ and $S_2$ moves anti-clockwise with a uniform speed $4 \sqrt{2} ms ^{-1}$ on a circular path around $O$, as shown in the figure. There are three points $P, Q$ and $R$ on this path such that $P$ and $R$ are diametrically opposite while $Q$ is equidistant from them. A sound detector is placed at point $P$. The source $S_1$ can move along direction $O P$.
