Q19 / 117 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Physics · Waves and Sound

A table is revolving on its axis at 5 revolutions per second. A sound source of frequency 1000 Hz is fixed on the table at 70 cm from the axis. The minimum frequency heard by a listener standing at a distance from the table will be (speed of sound = 352 m s-1)

  • A
    1000 Hz
     
     
  • B
    1066 Hz
     
     
  • Correct answer
    C
    941 Hz
     
     
  • D
    352 Hz
     
     

Solution

vs=rω=r×2πv

=70100×2×227×5=22 m s-1

Frequency is minimum when the source is moving away from the listener.

ν′=u×νu+vs=352×1000352+22=941 Hz

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
