Doppler’s Effect Questions in English

(A) Let the speed of sound be $v$. The observer moves towards the stationary source with a speed $v_0 = \frac{v}{5}$.
According to the Doppler effect,when an observer moves towards a stationary source,the apparent frequency $f'$ is given by:
$f' = f \left( \frac{v + v_0}{v} \right)$
Substituting the given values:
$f' = f \left( \frac{v + \frac{v}{5}}{v} \right)$
$f' = f \left( \frac{\frac{6v}{5}}{v} \right)$
$f' = f \left( \frac{6}{5} \right) = 1.2 f$
Therefore,the apparent frequency recorded by the observer is $1.2 f$.

(D) According to the Doppler effect,the observed frequency $f^{\prime}$ is given by $f^{\prime} = f_0 \left( \frac{v + v_0}{v - v_s} \right)$.
Here,$v$ is the speed of sound,$v_0$ is the speed of the observer,and $v_s$ is the speed of the source.
Given that the source is stationary,$v_s = 0$.
The observer moves towards the source with a speed $v_0 = \frac{v}{5}$.
Substituting these values into the formula: $f^{\prime} = f_0 \left( \frac{v + v/5}{v} \right) = f_0 \left( \frac{6v/5}{v} \right) = 1.2 f_0$.
The fractional increase in frequency is $\frac{f^{\prime} - f_0}{f_0} = \frac{1.2 f_0 - f_0}{f_0} = 0.2$.
To express this as a percentage: $0.2 \times 100 \% = 20 \%$.

(B) According to the Doppler effect formula for a source and observer moving away from each other:
$f' = f_0 \left( \frac{v - v_o}{v + v_s} \right)$
Here, the observed frequency $f' = 1980 \,Hz$.
The speed of sound in air $v = 340 \,ms^{-1}$.
The velocity of the observer $v_o = 10 \,ms^{-1}$ (moving away, so negative sign in numerator).
The velocity of the source $v_s = 10 \,ms^{-1}$ (moving away, so positive sign in denominator).
Substituting the values:
$1980 = f_0 \left( \frac{340 - 10}{340 + 10} \right)$
$1980 = f_0 \left( \frac{330}{350} \right)$
$f_0 = 1980 \times \frac{350}{330}$
$f_0 = 1980 \times \frac{35}{33}$
$f_0 = 60 \times 35 = 2100 \,Hz$.

(A) Here, the source is moving away from a stationary observer.
According to the Doppler effect, when the source moves away from the observer, the apparent frequency is lower than the actual frequency.
The formula for apparent frequency $f^{\prime}$ is given by:
$f^{\prime} = f \left( \frac{v}{v + v_s} \right)$
Where:
$f = 2000 \,Hz$ (actual frequency)
$v = 340 \,m/s$ (velocity of sound)
$v_s = 72 \,km/h = 72 \times \frac{5}{18} = 20 \,m/s$ (velocity of source)
Substituting the values:
$f^{\prime} = 2000 \left( \frac{340}{340 + 20} \right)$
$f^{\prime} = 2000 \left( \frac{340}{360} \right)$
$f^{\prime} = 2000 \left( \frac{17}{18} \right) \approx 1888.89 \,Hz$
Rounding to the nearest whole number, we get $f^{\prime} \approx 1889 \,Hz$.

(A) According to the Doppler effect, the frequency of sound reflected from a building and heard by a moving observer is given by the formula:
$f^{\prime} = f \left( \frac{v + v_b}{v - v_b} \right) \quad ... (i)$
Here, $v = 340 \,m/s$ is the speed of sound.
$v_b = 72 \,km/h = 72 \times \frac{5}{18} \,m/s = 20 \,m/s$ is the speed of the bus.
$f = 1.7 \,kHz$ is the original frequency produced by the horn.
Substituting these values into Eq. $(i)$, we get:
$f^{\prime} = 1.7 \left( \frac{340 + 20}{340 - 20} \right) \,kHz$
$f^{\prime} = 1.7 \left( \frac{360}{320} \right) \,kHz$
$f^{\prime} = 1.7 \times 1.125 \,kHz = 1.9125 \,kHz$
Rounding this value, we get $f^{\prime} \approx 1.9 \,kHz$. Since $1.9 \,kHz$ is not explicitly listed, we re-evaluate the options. The closest value provided is $1.8 \,kHz$.

(B) Given: Frequency of the source, $f = 495 \,Hz$. Speed of sound, $v_s = u$. Speed of both trucks, $v_o = v_s' = 0.1 u$.
Case $1$: When the trucks are approaching each other.
Using the Doppler effect formula for a moving source and moving observer approaching each other:
$v_1 = f \left( \frac{v_s + v_o}{v_s - v_s'} \right) = 495 \left( \frac{u + 0.1 u}{u - 0.1 u} \right) = 495 \left( \frac{1.1 u}{0.9 u} \right) = 495 \times \frac{11}{9} = 55 \times 11 = 605 \,Hz$.
Case $2$: When the trucks have passed each other (receding).
Using the Doppler effect formula for a moving source and moving observer receding from each other:
$v_2 = f \left( \frac{v_s - v_o}{v_s + v_s'} \right) = 495 \left( \frac{u - 0.1 u}{u + 0.1 u} \right) = 495 \left( \frac{0.9 u}{1.1 u} \right) = 495 \times \frac{9}{11} = 45 \times 9 = 405 \,Hz$.
The magnitude of the difference is:
$|v_1 - v_2| = 605 \,Hz - 405 \,Hz = 200 \,Hz$.

(A) Let the frequencies of horns $A$ and $B$ be $n_A$ and $n_B$, respectively.
Given that the driver records $50$ beats in $10$ seconds when both horns are sounded together:
$|n_A - n_B| = \frac{50}{10} = 5 \,Hz$.
When the truck moves towards a wall with speed $v_s = 10 \,m/s$, the frequency of the echo heard by the driver is given by the Doppler effect formula:
$n_B' = n_B \left( \frac{v + v_s}{v - v_s} \right)$, where $v = 330 \,m/s$ is the speed of sound.
$n_B' = n_B \left( \frac{330 + 10}{330 - 10} \right) = n_B \left( \frac{340}{320} \right) = n_B \left( \frac{17}{16} \right) = 1.0625 n_B$.
The beat frequency with the echo is $n_B' - n_B = 5 \,Hz$.
$1.0625 n_B - n_B = 5 \implies 0.0625 n_B = 5$.
$n_B = \frac{5}{0.0625} = 80 \,Hz$.
Given that decreasing $n_A$ increases the beat frequency $|n_A - n_B|$, it implies $n_A < n_B$.
Since $|n_A - n_B| = 5$, we have $n_B - n_A = 5$.
$n_A = n_B - 5 = 80 - 5 = 75 \,Hz$.

(C) The frequency of the sound waves reflected by the fixed obstacle, as received by the obstacle, is given by the Doppler effect formula for a moving source and stationary observer:
$f_1 = f \left( \frac{v}{v - v_s} \right)$
Substituting the values:
$f_1 = 1000 \left( \frac{330}{330 - 33} \right) = \frac{1000 \times 330}{297} \text{ Hz}$.
Now, the reflected waves act as a source (stationary) and the receiver (moving with the source) acts as an observer moving towards the reflected waves:
$f_2 = f_1 \left( \frac{v + v_D}{v} \right)$
Substituting $f_1$:
$f_2 = \left( \frac{1000 \times 330}{297} \right) \left( \frac{330 + 33}{330} \right) = \frac{1000 \times 363}{297} \text{ Hz}$.
$f_2 = 1000 \times 1.2 = 1200 \text{ Hz} = 1.2 \text{ kHz}$.

(B) The apparent frequency $v^{\prime}$ heard by a stationary observer when the source is moving at an angle $\theta$ with the line joining the source and the observer is given by the Doppler effect formula:
$v^{\prime} = v \left( \frac{V}{V - v_s \cos \theta} \right)$
Where $V = 340 \,m/s$ is the speed of sound, $v_s = \frac{100}{3} \,m/s$ is the speed of the source, and $v = 640 \,Hz$ is the source frequency.
From the geometry of the right-angled triangle formed by the source, point $A$, and the observer $O$, the distance between the source and $O$ is $\sqrt{30^2 + 40^2} = 50 \,m$.
Thus, $\cos \theta = \frac{30}{50} = \frac{3}{5}$.
Substituting the values:
$v^{\prime} = 640 \left( \frac{340}{340 - (\frac{100}{3}) \times (\frac{3}{5})} \right)$
$v^{\prime} = 640 \left( \frac{340}{340 - 20} \right)$
$v^{\prime} = 640 \times \frac{340}{320}$
$v^{\prime} = 640 \times \frac{34}{32} = 20 \times 34 = 680 \,Hz$.

(B) Let the frequency of the sources be $n = 680 \ Hz$ and the speed of sound be $v = 340 \ ms^{-1}$.
The listener moves from $A$ towards $B$ with velocity $u$.
The apparent frequency $n'$ heard by the listener from source $A$ (moving away from $A$) is:
$n' = n \left( \frac{v - u}{v} \right) = 680 \left( \frac{340 - u}{340} \right) = 2(340 - u)$
The apparent frequency $n''$ heard by the listener from source $B$ (moving towards $B$) is:
$n'' = n \left( \frac{v + u}{v} \right) = 680 \left( \frac{340 + u}{340} \right) = 2(340 + u)$
The beat frequency is the difference between the two apparent frequencies:
$|n'' - n'| = 10$
$2(340 + u) - 2(340 - u) = 10$
$680 + 2u - 680 + 2u = 10$
$4u = 10$
$u = 2.5 \ ms^{-1}$

(B) The velocity of the source $v_s$ is given by $v_s = r \omega$.
Given $r = 2 m$ and $\omega = 15 rad/s$,we have $v_s = 2 \times 15 = 30 m/s$.
The Doppler effect formula for a stationary listener and a moving source is $f' = f \left( \frac{v}{v - v_s \cos \theta} \right)$.
The highest frequency is heard when the source is moving directly towards the listener,which corresponds to $\theta = 0^\circ$,so $\cos \theta = 1$.
Substituting the values: $f' = 540 \left( \frac{330}{330 - 30} \right) = 540 \left( \frac{330}{300} \right) = 540 \times 1.1 = 594 Hz$.

(B) The frequency of the sound heard directly by the observer moving away from the source is given by the Doppler effect formula: $f_1 = f_0 \left( \frac{v}{v + v_s} \right)$.
Given $f_1 = 970 \,Hz$, $f_0 = 1000 \,Hz$, and $v = 330 \,m/s$, we have: $970 = 1000 \left( \frac{330}{330 + v_s} \right)$.
Solving for $v_s$: $330 + v_s = \frac{1000 \times 330}{970} \approx 340.2 \,m/s$, so $v_s \approx 10.2 \,m/s$.
The sound reflected from the hill acts as if it is coming from a source moving towards the observer. The frequency of the reflected sound $f_2$ is given by: $f_2 = f_0 \left( \frac{v}{v - v_s} \right)$.
Substituting the values: $f_2 = 1000 \left( \frac{330}{330 - 10.2} \right) = 1000 \left( \frac{330}{319.8} \right) \approx 1031.89 \,Hz$.
Rounding to the nearest integer, the frequency is approximately $1032 \,Hz$.

(D) Given:
Frequency of the whistle,$f_0 = 660 \,Hz$
Speed of sound,$v = 340 \,m/s$
Angular speed of the whistle,$\omega = 10 \,rad/s$
Radius of the circle,$r = 1 \,m$
The linear velocity of the whistle is given by $v_s = \omega r = 10 \times 1 = 10 \,m/s$.
Since the listener is at a long distance from the center of the circle,the velocity component of the whistle along the line joining the whistle and the listener is maximum when the whistle moves directly towards the listener.
Using the Doppler effect formula for a source moving towards a stationary observer:
$f = f_0 \left( \frac{v}{v - v_s} \right)$
Substituting the values:
$f = 660 \times \left( \frac{340}{340 - 10} \right)$
$f = 660 \times \left( \frac{340}{330} \right)$
$f = 2 \times 340 = 680 \,Hz$
Thus,the highest frequency heard by the listener is $680 \,Hz$.
Therefore,the correct option is $D$.

(D) Given: Angular speed $\omega = 40 \ rad \ s^{-1}$,radius $r = 50 \ cm = 0.5 \ m$.
The linear speed of the source is $v_s = r \omega = 0.5 \times 40 = 20 \ m \ s^{-1}$.
The Doppler effect formula for maximum frequency (when the source moves towards the observer) is $n_{\max} = n \left( \frac{v}{v - v_s} \right)$.
The Doppler effect formula for minimum frequency (when the source moves away from the observer) is $n_{\min} = n \left( \frac{v}{v + v_s} \right)$.
The ratio of maximum to minimum frequency is $\frac{n_{\max}}{n_{\min}} = \frac{v + v_s}{v - v_s}$.
Substituting the values $v = 340 \ m \ s^{-1}$ and $v_s = 20 \ m \ s^{-1}$:
$\frac{n_{\max}}{n_{\min}} = \frac{340 + 20}{340 - 20} = \frac{360}{320} = \frac{9}{8}$.
Thus,the ratio is $9: 8$.

(A) The apparent frequency $f'$ heard by an observer is given by the Doppler effect formula:
$f' = f_0 \left( \frac{v + v_o}{v - v_s} \right)$
Where:
$f_0 = 1000 \ Hz$ (source frequency)
$v = 333 \ m/s$ (velocity of sound)
$v_o = 33 \ m/s$ (velocity of observer,positive as it approaches the source)
$v_s = 33 \ m/s$ (velocity of source,positive as it moves towards the observer)
Substituting the values:
$f' = 1000 \left( \frac{333 + 33}{333 - 33} \right)$
$f' = 1000 \left( \frac{366}{300} \right)$
$f' = 1000 \times 1.22 = 1220 \ Hz$

(C) According to the Doppler effect, when an observer moves with velocity $v_0$ towards a stationary source, the observed frequency $N_{\text{approach}}$ is given by:
$N_{\text{approach}} = N \left( \frac{v + v_0}{v} \right)$
Given $N = 850 \text{ Hz}$, $v = 340 \text{ m/s}$, and $v_0 = 72 \text{ km/h} = 72 \times \frac{5}{18} = 20 \text{ m/s}$.
$N_{\text{approach}} = 850 \left( \frac{340 + 20}{340} \right) = 850 \left( \frac{360}{340} \right) = 900 \text{ Hz}$.
When the observer moves away from the source, the observed frequency $N_{\text{separation}}$ is given by:
$N_{\text{separation}} = N \left( \frac{v - v_0}{v} \right)$
$N_{\text{separation}} = 850 \left( \frac{340 - 20}{340} \right) = 850 \left( \frac{320}{340} \right) = 800 \text{ Hz}$.
The difference between the two frequencies is:
$\Delta N = N_{\text{approach}} - N_{\text{separation}} = 900 \text{ Hz} - 800 \text{ Hz} = 100 \text{ Hz}$.

(B) Given:
Velocity of sound,$v = 340 \ m/s$
Velocity of listener (car),$v_L = 17 \ m/s$
Velocity of source (bus),$v_S = ?$
Frequency of horn emitted,$f = 640 \ Hz$
Apparent frequency,$f' = 680 \ Hz$
According to the Doppler effect,the apparent frequency $f'$ is given by:
$f' = f \left( \frac{v + v_L}{v - v_S} \right)$
Substituting the given values:
$680 = 640 \left( \frac{340 + 17}{340 - v_S} \right)$
Dividing both sides by $40$:
$17 = 16 \left( \frac{357}{340 - v_S} \right)$
$17(340 - v_S) = 16 \times 357$
$5780 - 17v_S = 5712$
$17v_S = 5780 - 5712$
$17v_S = 68$
$v_S = 4 \ m/s$

(C) According to the Doppler effect,when a source of sound moves towards a stationary observer,the apparent frequency $f'$ is given by:
$f' = f \left( \frac{v}{v - v_s} \right)$
Where:
$f = 640 \ Hz$ (source frequency)
$v = 340 \ ms^{-1}$ (speed of sound)
$v_s = 20 \ ms^{-1}$ (speed of the source/train)
Substituting the values:
$f' = 640 \left( \frac{340}{340 - 20} \right)$
$f' = 640 \left( \frac{340}{320} \right)$
$f' = 640 \times 1.0625 = 680 \ Hz$
Therefore,the frequency heard by the person on the platform is $680 \ Hz$.
