A transverse wave is represented by the equation   y = yo sin 2πλ vt - k.  For what value of λ  is the particle velocity equal to two times the wave velocity 

  • λ = π yo

  • λ = π yo2

A sound source producing waves of frequency 300 Hz and wavelength lm observer is stationary, while source is going away with the velocity 30 m is, then apparent frequency heared by the observer is

  • 270 Hz

  • 273 Hz

  • 383 Hz

  • 300Hz


B.

273 Hz

An increase (or decrease ) in the frequency of sound, light or other waves as the source and observer move towards (or away from) other. The effect causes the sudden change in pitch noticeable in a passing siren, as well as the redshift seen by astronomers. 

Here source is moving and the observer is stationary so according to Doppler effect we use the following relation.

Apparent frequency n' = n VV + Vs

  V = Velocity of sound

  Vs = velocity of source

  ∴   n' = 300 332332 + 30

           = 273 Hz
