A source producing sound of frequency 170 Hz is approaching a stationary observer with a velocity 17 ms–1. The apparent change in the wavelength of sound heard by the observer is (speed of sound in air = 340 ms–1)

a
0.1m
b
0.2m
c
0.4m
d
0.5m

detailed solution

Correct option is A

λ=vn=340170=2 m,    n'=340340−17×170 ⇒n'=178.9HzNow λ'=vn'=340178.9=1.9 m⇒λ−λ'=2−1.9=0.1 m
