Doppler's effect
Question

An observer moves towards a stationary source of sound with a speed 1/5th of the speed of sound. The wavelength and frequency of the source emitted are λ and f respectively. The apparent frequency and wavelength recorded by the observer are respectively

Easy
Solution

n'=v+v0v.n=v+v5v.f=65f=1.2f and since the source is stationary, so wave length remains unchanged for observer.
