Vedclass · Answer

(C) The drone acts as a moving source of sound approaching a stationary reflecting surface (the building).
Given:
Speed of drone (source), $v_s = 15 \,m/s$
Actual frequency, $n_0 = 780 \,Hz$
Speed of sound, $v = 340 \,m/s$
Step $1$: Calculate the frequency of the sound waves reaching the building.
Since the source is moving towards the stationary building, the frequency $n'$ received by the building is given by the Doppler effect formula:
$n' = n_0 \left( \frac{v}{v - v_s} \right)$
$n' = 780 \left( \frac{340}{340 - 15} \right) = 780 \left( \frac{340}{325} \right) = 816 \,Hz$
Step $2$: The building acts as a stationary source reflecting this frequency $n'$ back to the operator.
Since the operator is stationary and the building (acting as the source of the echo) is stationary, the frequency heard by the operator is the same as the frequency incident on the building.
Therefore, the frequency heard by the operator is $816 \,Hz$.

$A$ source at rest emits sound waves of frequency $102 \ Hz$. Two observers are moving away from the source of sound in opposite directions, each with a speed of $10 \%$ of the speed of sound. The ratio of the frequencies of sound heard by the observers is

$A$ source and a listener are both moving towards each other with a speed of $\frac{V}{10}$ (where $V$ is the speed of sound). If the frequency of the sound note emitted by the source is $n$,then the frequency heard by the listener would be nearly:

$A$ source of sound is moving with a constant velocity of $30 \,m/s$ emitting a note of frequency $256 \,Hz$. The ratio of frequencies observed by a stationary observer while the source is approaching him and after it crosses him is [speed of sound in air $= 330 \,m/s$].
