The observer is moving with velocity v0 towards the stationary source of sound and then after crossing moves away from the source with velocity v0 . Assume that the medium through which the sound waves travel is at rest. If v is the velocity of sound and n is the frequency emitted by the source then the difference between apparent frequencies heard by the observer is

  • Correct answer
    A
    2n v0v
  • B
    n vov
  • C
    v2n vo
  • D
    vnvo

Solution

n′=nv+vov
n′′=nv-vov
n′n′′=nvv+v0-v+v0=2n v0v 

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