Q.

In the figure shown an observer O1 floats (static) on water surface with ears in air while another observer O2 is moving upwards with constant velocity v1=v/5 in water. 

The source moves down with constant velocity vs=v/5 and emits sound of frequency f

The velocity of sound in air is v and that in water is 4v. For the situation shown in figure

Detailed Solution

For observer O1,

λ1=v-vsf=v-v/5f=4v5f

For O2, there is change of medium, hence at the surface of water, keeping frequency unchanged

fw=f(1+v/54v)(1-v/5v)=2116f

For O2 , λw=velocity of wave relative to observerfw     =4v+v5fw=21v516 v21 f=16 v5 f
