Q34 / 117 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Physics · Waves and Sound

A train moves towards a stationary observer with speed 34 m s-1. The train sounds a whistle and its frequency registered by the observer is f1. If the train's speed is reduced to 17 m s-1, the frequency registered is f2. If the speed of sound is 340 m s-1, then the ratio  f 1 f 2

  • A
    1819
  • B
    12
  • C
    2
  • Correct answer
    D
    1918

Solution

Here, vs1=34 m s-1,

v=340 m s-1

f1=v×nv-vs1=340×n340-34=340306n

f2=v×nv-vs2=340×n(340-17)=340n323

f1f2=323306=1918

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