MCQ
A source of sound $S$ emitting waves of frequency $100\,\, Hz$ and an observer $O$ are ocated at some distance from each other. The source is moving with a speed of $19 .4\,\, m s^{-1}$ at an angle of $60^o $ with the source observer line as shown in the figure. The observer is at rest. The apparent frequency observed by the observer .... $Hz$ (velocity of sound in air $330 \,\, m s^{-1}$), is 
  • A
    $97$
  • B
    $100$
  • $103$
  • D
    $106$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$103$
c
Here,

Frequency of source, $v_{0}=100 \mathrm{Hz}$

 Velocity of source, $v_{s}=19.4 \mathrm{ms}^{-1}$

 Velocity of sound in air, $v=330 \mathrm{ms}^{-1}$

As the velocity of source along the source observer line is $v_{s} \cos 60^{\circ}$ and the observer is at rest, so the apparent frequency observed by the observer is

${v=v_{0}\left(\frac{v}{v-v_{s} \cos 60^{\circ}}\right)}$

${=(100 \mathrm{Hz})\left(\frac{330 \mathrm{ms}^{-1}}{330 \mathrm{ms}^{-1}-\left(19.4 \mathrm{ms}^{-1}\right)\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)}\right)}$

${=(100 \mathrm{Hz})\left(\frac{330 \mathrm{ms}^{-1}}{330 \mathrm{ms}^{-1}-9.7 \mathrm{ms}^{-1}}\right)}$

${=(100 \mathrm{Hz})\left(\frac{330 \mathrm{ms}^{-1}}{320.3 \mathrm{ms}^{-1}}\right)=103 \mathrm{Hz}}$
