प्रश्न

A person standing on a road sends a sound signal to the driver of a car going away from him at a speed of 72 km h−1. The signal travelling at 330 m s−1 in air and having a frequency of 1600 Hz gets reflected from the body of the car and returns. Find the frequency of the reflected signal as heard by the person.

उत्तर

Given:
Velocity of sound in air v = 330 ms−1
Frequency of signal emitted by the source \[n_0\]  = 1600 Hz
Velocity of source vs = 72 kmh−1 =\[72 \times \frac{5}{18}   =   20   {\text {ms }}^{- 1}\]

As the sound gets reflected, therefore:
Velocity of source ( v) = Velocity of observer ( vL )
Velocity of sound heard by the observer is given by :

\[n = \frac{v + v_L}{v - v_s} \times  n_0\]

On substituting the values, we get :

\[n   =   \frac{330 - 20}{330 + 20} \times 1600 = 1417  \text { Hz }\]

The frequency of the reflected signal as heard by the person is 1417 Hz.
