Waves - Result Question 69

71. A siren emitting a sound of frequency 800Hz moves away from an observer towards a cliff at a speed of 15ms1. Then, the frequency of sound that the observer hears in the echo reflected from the cliff is :

[2016]

(Take velocity of sound in air =330ms1 )

(a) 765Hz

(b) 800Hz

(c) 838Hz

(b) 885Hz

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 71. (c)

Solution:

  1. (c) According to Doppler’s effect in sound

Apparent frequency,

n=vvvSn0=33033015(800)=330×800315=838Hz

The frequency of sound observer hears in the echo reflected from the cliff is 838Hz.
