MCQ
Two vehicles, each moving with speed $u$ on the same horizontal straight road, are approaching each other. Wind blows along the road with velocity $w$. One of these vehicles blows a whistle of frequency $f_1$. An observer in the other vehicle hears the frequency of the whistle to be $f _2$. The speed of sound in still air is $V$. The correct statement$(s)$ is (are) :

$(A)$ If the wind blows from the observer to the source, $f_2 > f_1$.

$(B)$ If the wind blows from the source to the observer, $f_2 > f_1$.

$(C)$ If the wind blows from the observer to the source, $f _2 < f _1$.

$(D)$ If the wind blows from the source to the observer, $f _2 < f _1$.

  • A
    $(A,C)$
  • $(A,B)$
  • C
    $(B,D)$
  • D
    $(C,D)$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$(A,B)$
b
$Image$

If wind blows from source to observer

$f_2 =\left(\frac{(v+w)+u}{(v+w)-u}\right) f_1 $

$\Rightarrow \quad f_2 > f_1$

If wind blows from observer to source

$Image$

$f_2=\left(\frac{(v-w)+u}{(v-w)-u}\right) f_1 $

$\Rightarrow f_2>f_1$

Figure here shows $P$ and $Q$ as two equally intense coherent sources emitting radiations of wavelength $20 \,m$. The separation $PQ$ is $5.0 \,m$ and phase of $P$ is ahead of the phase of $Q$ by $90^{0}$. $A, B $ and $ C$ are three distant points of observation equidistant from the mid-point of $PQ$. The intensity of radiations at $A, B, C$  will bear the ratio
The figure shows certain wire segments joined together to form a coplanar loop. The loop is placed in a perpendicular magnetic field in the direction going into the plane of the figure. The magnitude of the field increases with time. $I_1$ and $I_2$ are the currents in the segments $ab$ and $cd$. Then,
Answer the following by appropriately matching the lists based on the information given in the paragraph.

In a thermodynamics process on an ideal monatomic gas, the infinitesimal heat absorbed by the gas is given by $T \Delta X$, where $T$ is temperature of the system and $\Delta X$ is the infinitesimal change in a thermodynamic quantity $X$ of the system. For a mole of monatomic ideal gas

$X=\frac{3}{2} R \ln \left(\frac{T}{T_A}\right)+R \ln \left(\frac{V}{V_A}\right)$. Here, $R$ is gas constant, $V$ is volume of gas, $T_A$ and $V_A$ are constants.

The $List-I$ below gives some quantities involved in a process and $List-II$ gives some possible values of these quantities.

List-$I$ List-$II$

$(III)$ Heat absorbed by the system in process $1 \rightarrow 2 \rightarrow 3$ $(R)$ $R T _0$
$(IV)$ Heat absorbed by the system in process $1 \rightarrow 2$ $(S)$ $\frac{4}{3} RT _0$
  $(T)$ $\frac{1}{3} RT _0(3+\ln 2)$
  $(U)$ $\frac{5}{6} RT _0$
