Question
Two tuning forks A and B lying on opposite of observer ′O′ and of natural frequency 85 Hz move with velocity 10 m/s relative to stationary observer O. Fork A moves away from the observer while the fork B moves towards him. A wind with a speed 10 m/s is blowing in the direction of motion of fork A. Find the beat frequency measured by the observer in Hz. [Take speed of sound in air as 340 m/s]
Options
A.5
B.6
C.7
D.8
Solution
fobserver for source ′A′ = f0
f0 ; fobserver for source ′B′ = f0
f0
∴ Beat frequency = f1 - f2 =
f0 = 5
f0 ; fobserver for source ′B′ = f0f0∴ Beat frequency = f1 - f2 =
f0 = 5Create a free account to view solution
