Questions  

A sound source is moving on a circular path of radius R with constant angular speed ω in anticlockwise direction and emits a frequency n. An observer performs simple harmonic along the path QPR with time period T=2πω as shown in the figure. If at t=0 source is at A and observer is at Q and assume OP is very large as compare to radius R and QP, then

a
Observer will hear maximum frequency at P if source is at B.
b
Observer will hear maximum frequency at P if source is at Q.
c
Observer will hear maximum frequency at Q if source is at B.
d
Observer will hear maximum frequency at P if source is at D.

detailed solution

Correct option is D

relative velocity along the line joining the source and observer is maximum when observer is at P and source is at D
