The difference between the apparent frequency of a source of sound as perceived by an observer during its approach and recession is 2% of the natural frequency of the source. If the velocity of sound in air is 300 m/sec, the velocity of the source is (It is given that velocity of source << velocity of sound)The difference between the apparent frequency of a source of sound as perceived by an observer during its approach and recession is 2% of the natural frequency of the source.

Detailed Solution
When the source approaches the observer Apparent frequency n'=vv−vs.n=n11−vsv= n1−vsv−1=n1+vsv(Neglecting higher powers because vS << v)When the source recedes the observed apparent frequency n''=n1−vsvGiven n'−n''=2100n, v=300 m/sec∴2100n=n1+vsv−n1−vsv=n2vsv⇒2100=2vsv⇒vs=v100=300100=3 m/sec
