When both source and listener are approaching each other,the observed frequency of sound is given by (where $V$ is the speed of sound,$V_L$ and $V_S$ are the velocities of the listener and source respectively,and $n_0$ is the radiated frequency):

  • A
    $n=n_0\left[\frac{V+V_{L}}{V-V_{s}}\right]$
  • B
    $n=n_0\left[\frac{V-V_{L}}{V+V_{s}}\right]$
  • C
    $n=n_0\left[\frac{V-V_{L}}{V-V_{s}}\right]$
  • D
    $n=n_0\left[\frac{V+V_{L}}{V+V_{s}}\right]$

$A$ source of sound is travelling with a velocity of $40 \, km/h$ towards an observer and emits sound of frequency $2000 \, Hz$. If the velocity of sound is $1220 \, km/h$,what is the apparent frequency heard by the observer in $Hz$?

When an 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 stationary source with velocity $V_1$,the apparent frequency is $F_2$. If $v$ is the velocity of sound in air and $\frac{F_1}{F_2} = 2$,then $\frac{v}{V_1}$ is equal to:
