The source producing sound and an observer both are moving along the direction of propagation of sound waves. If the respective velocities of sound, source and an observer are $v,  {v_s}$ and ${v_o}$, then the apparent frequency heard by the observer will be ($n =$ frequency of sound)
  • A$\frac{{n(v + {v_o})}}{{v - {v_o}}}$
  • B$\frac{{n(v - {v_o})}}{{v - {v_s}}}$
  • C$\frac{{n(v - {v_o})}}{{v + {v_s}}}$
  • D$\frac{{n(v + {v_o})}}{{v + {v_s}}}$

    Two generators $S_1$ and $S_2$ produce water wave of equal frequency. A point $P$ is located such that $(S_1P -S_2P)$ is equal to half a wavelength. When operated alone, $S_1$ produces an oscillation of amplitude $2a$ at $P$ while $S_2$ produces an oscillation of amplitude $a$ . If the generators are operated in phase, which graph correctly shows the resultant oscillation at $P$ ?
