A source of frequency 50Hz is moving towards an observer with a deceleration of 2m/s^2. If its initial speed is 20m/s, what will be the maximum frequency heard by the observer? Initial distance between source and observer is 100m. Speed of sound = 330m/s.(a) 47.14Hz(b) 0(c) 53.22Hz(d) 53.03HzI got this question in homework.This intriguing question originated from Waves in portion Waves of Physics – Class 11

Answer» CORRECT option is (c) 53.22Hz

Best explanation: Apparent frequency only depends on VELOCITY and not the distance between source and observer.So, MAXIMUM frequency will be HEARD when speed is maximum, which is at the start.F = 50(330)/(330-20)

= 53.22Hz.
