MCQ
A source and an observer are moving towards each other with a speed equal to $\frac{v}{2}$ where $v$ is the speed of sound. The source is emitting sound of frequency $n$. The frequency heard by the observer will be
  • A
    Zero
  • B
    $n$
  • C
    $\frac{n}{3}$
  • $3n$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$3n$
d
(d)$n' = n\left( {\frac{{v + {v_0}}}{{v - {v_s}}}} \right) = n\,\left( {\frac{{v + v/2}}{{v - v/2}}} \right) = 3n$

A beam of light from a source $L$ is incident normally on a plane mirror fixed at a certain distance $x$ from the source. The beam is reflected back as a spot on a scale placed just above the source $L.$ When the mirror is rotated through a small angle $\theta$, the spot of the light is found to move through a distance $y$ on the scale. The angle $\theta$ is given by
