Physics Wave and Sound General MCQ (Single Correct)

A source is moving across a circle given by the equation x 2 + y 2 = R 2 with constant speed v S = m/s. in clockwise sense. A detector is stationary at the point (2R, 0) w.r.t. the centre of the circle. The frequency emitted by the source is f S

A
What are the co-ordinates of the source when the detector records the maximum and minimum frequencies.
B
Find these frequencies. Take speed of sound v = 330 m/s.

The correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.

, (0, – R) f´ min = f S

f´ max = f S

Wave emitted at A when reach at detector gives maximum apparent frequency during this time source reaches at E.

Time taken by sound to reach at C =

∴ Distance travelled by the sources within this time = =

Hence =

∴ Angle from horizontal = 30º

Hence coordinates

Also; n´ min =

n´ max =
