Q.

A car is moving towards an approaching bike, the bike is moving with a velocity 30ms-1 . Frequency of horn sounded by the car is 100Hz, while it is observed by bike rider as 120Hz. The actual duration of horn is 6s. Find the time interval for which the bike rider hears it. (Take velocity of sound in air as 330ms-1)

Detailed Solution

Velocity of bike Vb=30ms1 Let the velocity of car be Vefobs =factual ×Vso+VbVsoVc
120Hz=100Hz×330+30330VeVe=30ms1
Distance between initial and final pulse of horn =Vso×ΔtVeΔt (Δt is duration of emission of sound )=(33030)×6=1800m
This wave train travels with 330ms-1 and cross bike rider moving with velocity of 30ms-1 towards it. 
Time taken = length of wave train Vso+Vb=1800330+30=18036=5s
