उत्तर

If the spectral lines of the star are found to shift towards red end of the spectrum (called redshift) then the star is receding away from the Earth. If the spectral lines of the star are found to shift towards the blue end of the spectrum (called blue shift) then the star is approaching Earth.

The change in frequency due to Doppler effect does not depend on


The sound emitted from the siren of an ambulance has a frequency of 1500 Hz. The speed of sound is 340 m/s. Calculate the difference in frequencies heard by a stationary observer if the ambulance initially travels towards and then away from the observer at a speed of 30 m/s.


Discuss the following case-

Both are in motion

  1. Source and Observer approach each other
  2. Source and Observer resides from each other
  3. Source chases Observer
  4. Observer chases Source

A ship in a sea sends SONAR waves straight down into the seawater from the bottom of the ship. The signal reflects from the deep bottom bedrock and returns to the ship after 3.5 s. After the ship moves to 100 km it sends another signal which returns back after 2 s. Calculate the depth of the sea in each case and also compute the difference in height between two cases.


N tuning forks are arranged in order of increasing frequency and any two successive tuning forks give n beats per second when sounded together. If the last fork gives double the frequency of the first (called as octave), Show that the frequency of the first tuning fork is f = (N – 1)n.


A sound source and listener are both stationary and a strong wind is blowing. Is there a Doppler effect?


If a star appearing yellow starts accelerating towards the earth, its colour appears to be turned ______.


A train, standing in a station yard, blows a whistle of frequency 400 Hz in still air. The wind starts blowing in the direction from the yard to the station with a speed of 10 m/s. Given that the speed of sound in still air is 340 m/s ______.

  1. the frequency of sound as heard by an observer standing on the platform is 400 Hz.
  2. the speed of sound for the observer standing on the platform is 350 m/s.
  3. the frequency of sound as heard by the observer standing on the platform will increase.
  4. the frequency of sound as heard by the observer standing on the platform will decrease.

A train standing at the outer signal of a railway station blows a whistle of frequency 400 Hz still air. The train begins to move with a speed of 10 ms–1 towards the platform. What is the frequency of the sound for an observer standing on the platform? (sound velocity in air = 330 ms–1)


A source and a detector move away from each other in absence of wind with a speed of 20 m/s with respect to the ground. If the detector detects a frequency of 1800 Hz of the sound coming from the source, then the original frequency of the source considering the speed of sound in air 340 m/s will be ______ Hz.
