Q81 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (27 Aug Shift 1) · Physics

Two cars X and Y are approaching each other with velocities 36 km h-1 and 72 km h-1 respectively. The frequency of a whistle sound as emitted by a passenger in car X, heard by the passenger in car Y is 1320 Hz. If the velocity of sound in air is 340 ms-1, the actual frequency of the whistle sound produced is ________ Hz.

Correct answer: 1210

Solution

f'=f0V+V0 V-VS

f0=1320340-10340+20=1320×3336=1210 Hz

Hence, the correct answer is 1210.
