(a)
To calculate: The frequency perceived by a detector on a stationary train.
(a)
Answer to Problem 48A
The frequency of sound perceived by a detector on a stationary stationis
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Speed of sound in air (
Velocity of train (source) (
Velocity of detector train (
Frequency of wave (
The train is moving away from the detector.
Formula used:
Doppler Effect equation:
Where
Calculation:
As per problem,
The train is moving away from the detector, so
Now put the value of
Conclusion:
Thus, the frequency perceived by the detectoris
(b)
To calculate:The frequency perceived by a train moving away from the source train.
(b)
Answer to Problem 48A
The frequency perceived by the train moving away from the source train is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Speed of sound in air (
Velocity of train (source) (
Velocity of detector train (
Frequency of wave (
Both the trains are moving in opposite direction from each other.
Formula used:
Doppler Effect equation:
Where
Calculation:
As per problem,
The source train is moving away from the detector, so
The detector train is also moving away from the source train, so
Now put the value of
Conclusion:
Thus, the frequency perceived by the detector train is
