A vehicle with a horn of frequency $n$ is moving with a velocity of $30\, m/s$ in a direction perpendicular to the straight line joining the observer and the vehicle. The observer perceives the sound to have a frequency $n + {n_1}$. Then (if the sound velocity in air is $300\, m/s$)
  • A${n_1} = 10\,n$
  • B${n_1} = 0$
  • C${n_1} = 0.1\,n$
  • D${n_1} = - 0.1\,n$
