(b) ${y_1} = {10^{ - 6}}\sin \,[100\,t + (x/50) + 0.5]$

${y_2} = {10^{ - 6}}\sin \,\left[ {100\,t + \left( {\frac{x}{{50}}} \right) + \left( {\frac{\pi }{2}} \right)} \right]$

Phase difference $\phi$

$=[100 t + (x/50) + 1.57]-[100 t + (x/50)+ 0.5]$

$ = 1.07\,radians.$

    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.
