When a train approaches a stationary observer,the apparent frequency of the whistle is $n'$ and when the same train recedes away from the observer,the apparent frequency is $n''$. Then,the apparent frequency $n$ when the observer moves with the train is

  • A
    $n = \frac{n' + n''}{2}$
  • B
    $n = \sqrt{n' n''}$
  • C
    $n = \frac{2n' n''}{n' + n''}$
  • D
    $n = \frac{2n' n''}{n' - n''}$

$A$ stationary tuning fork is in resonance with an air column in a pipe. If the tuning fork is moved with a speed of $2 \ m/s$ in front of the open end of the pipe and parallel to it,the length of the pipe should be changed for the resonance to occur with the moving tuning fork. If the speed of sound in air is $320 \ m/s$,the smallest value of the percentage change required in the length of the pipe is. . . . . .
