Question 11 NECO_MODEL_QUESTIONS_VOL1 • 2017 • PHYSICS • objective

A stationary source emits sound of unknown frequency. An observer moves directly towards the source at a constant speed and hears a frequency of \(660\ \text{Hz}\). When the observer reverses direction and moves directly away from the source at the same speed, the heard frequency is \(540\ \text{Hz}\). The speed of sound in air is \(330\ \text{m\,s}^{-1}\). Determine (i) the speed of the observer and (ii) the original frequency emitted by the source.

Answer Options

A. Observer speed = 35 m\/s; original frequency = 580 Hz
Correct Answer B. Observer speed = 33 m/s; original frequency = 600 Hz
C. Observer speed = 40 m\/s; original frequency = 560 Hz
D. Observer speed = 30 m\/s; original frequency = 620 Hz
Correct Answer
B
Correct Option:
Observer speed = 33 m/s; original frequency = 600 Hz
