When a sound is going away from a stationary observer with the velocity equal to
When a sound is going away from a stationary observer with the velocity equal to that of sound in air, then the frequency heard by observer is n times the original frequency. The value of n is
- A. 0.5
- B. 0.25
- C. 1.0
- D. no sound is heard
Step-by-step solution
Using the Doppler effect formula for a source moving away from a stationary observer: f' = f * v / (v + v_s). Given v_s = v, we get f' = f * v / (2v) = f/2. Thus n = 0.5.
