Statement $-1$ : Due to the motion of listener, the frequency of the sound waves (as received by listener) emitted by stationary source is affected.

Statement $-2$ : Due to the motion of source, wavelength of the sound waves (emitted by source) as received by stationary listener is affected.

Statement $-3$ : If receiver and source both are moving, the observed frequency must be different from the original frequency of source.

Treat motion of source or listener as always along a line joining them for all above cases.

  • A
    All the three statements are correct
  • B
    All the three statements are wrong
  • COnly Statements $-1$ and $2$ are correct
  • DOnly Statements $-2$ and $3$ are correct
