Questions  

An observer moves towards a stationary source of sound, with a velocity one-fifth of the velocity of sound. What is the percentage increase in the apparent frequency 

a
5%
b
20%
c
Zero
d
0.5%

detailed solution

Correct option is B

When observer moves towards stationary source then apparent frequency n'=v+vOv n=v+v/5v n=65n=1.2nIncrement in frequency = 0.2 n so percentage change in frequency = 0.2nn×100 = 20%.
