MCQ
A sound source is moving towards a stationary observer with $1/10$ of the speed of sound. The ratio of apparent to real frequency is
  • $10/9$
  • B
    $11/10$
  • C
    ${(11/10)^2}$
  • D
    ${(9/10)^2}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$10/9$
a
(a) $n' = n\,\left( {\frac{v}{{v - {v_S}}}} \right) = n\,\left( {\frac{v}{{v - v/10}}} \right)\,$

==> $\frac{{n'}}{n} = \frac{{10}}{9}$
