MCQ
With what velocity an observer should move relative to a stationary source so that he hears a sound of double the frequency of source
  • Velocity of sound towards the source
  • B
    Velocity of sound away from the source
  • C
    Half the velocity of sound towards the source
  • D
    Double the velocity of sound towards the source

Answer

Correct option: A.
Velocity of sound towards the source
a
(a)By using $n' = n\,\left( {\frac{v}{{v - {v_S}}}} \right)$
$2n = n\,\left( {\frac{{v - {v_O}}}{{v - 0}}} \right)$ ==> ${v_O} = - v = - $(Speed of sound)
Negative sign indicates that observer is moving opposite to the direction of velocity of sound, as shown
