When the observer moves towards a stationary source with velocity $V_1$,the apparent frequency of the emitted note is $F_1$. When the observer moves away from the source with velocity $V_1$,the apparent frequency is $F_2$. If $V$ is the velocity of sound in air and $F_1 / F_2 = 2$,then $V / V_1$ is equal to:

  • A
    $3$
  • B
    $2$
  • C
    $1$
  • D
    $4$

$A$ musician on a moving vehicle plays a tone at $880 \ Hz$. When the vehicle is approaching a listener, the listener receives it as an $888 \ Hz$ tone. What is the speed of the vehicle (in $m \ s^{-1}$)? (Assume the velocity of sound is $333 \ m \ s^{-1}$)

Three musicians experiment with the Doppler effect. Musician $A$ rides in a car at a speed $u$ directly away from musician $B$ who is stationary. Musician $C$ rides in a car directly toward $B$ and travels at the same speed as $A$. Musician $A$ plays a note at frequency $f_A$ on his trumpet. $B$ hears the note,adjusts his trumpet,and plays the same note he heard. Choose the incorrect statement.
