When the observer moves towards the stationary source with velocityV1, the apparent frequency of the emitted note isF1.When the observer moves away from the source with velocityV1, the apparent frequency isF2.If V is the velocity of sound in air andF1F2=2 then VV1=?

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

F1F2=2, Speed of approach = Speed of leaving
The apparent frequency of sound observed by observer when it is approaching source is given by
F 1 = V+ V 1 V . f 0 ....(i)
When observer is moving away from source
F 2 = V− V 1 V f 0 ....... (ii)
Heref0is the frequency of sound wave
Taking ratio of (i) with (ii) we have
F1F2=VV-V1×V+V1V=V+V1V-V1
∴ 2=V+V1V-V1
∴ 2V-2V1=V+V1
∴ 2V-V=3V1
∴  VV1=3
