You are driving in your car listening to music on the radio. Your car is equipped with radio that can recieved radio singals of frequency $(f_1 \approx\, 3\, MHz),$ other of frequency $(f_2 \approx\, 30\, MHz),$ and third of frequency $(f_3 =\, 3\, GHz),$. You enter a tunnel with a circular opening of diameter $10\ m.$ Which kind of radio signal will you be able to receive the longest as you continue to travel in the tunnel ?
  • ARadio signal of frequency $f_1$
  • BRadio signal of frequency $f_2$
  • CRadio signal of frequency $f_3$
  • D
    Distance upto which signal can penetrate in tunnel is independent of frequency

    A source $(S)$ of sound has frequency $240 \ Hz$. When the observer $(O)$ and the source move towards each other at a speed $v$ with respect to the ground (as shown in Case $1$ in the figure), the observer measures the frequency of the sound to be $288 \ Hz$. However, when the observer and the source move away from each other at the same speed $v$ with respect to the ground (as shown in Case $2$ in the figure), the observer measures the frequency of sound to be $n Hz$.
