A source of sound is moving away from a stationary observer with constant velocity 40 m/s. Find frequency heard by observer, if original frequency of source is 400 Hz and speed of sound in air is 360 m/s
330 Hz
320 Hz
360 Hz
280 Hz
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The correct answer is option (C) : 360 Hz
\(f=400(\frac{360}{360+40})=360Hz\)

- A source (S) of sound has frequency\( 240 Hz\). When the observer (O) and the source move towards each other at a speed \(v\) with respect to the ground (as shown in Case 1 in the figure), the observer measures the frequency of the sound to be \(288 Hz\). However, when the observer and the source move away from each other at the same speed v with respect to the ground (as shown in Case 2 in the figure), the observer measures the frequency of sound to be \(n\) Hz. The value of \(n\) is _____.

Doppler Effect
The Doppler effect is a phenomenon caused by a moving wave source that causes an apparent upward shift in frequency for observers who are approaching the source and a visible downward change in frequency for observers who are retreating from the source. It's crucial to note that the impact isn't caused by a change in the source's frequency.
The Doppler effect may be seen in any wave type, including water waves, sound waves, and light waves. We are most familiar with the Doppler effect because of our encounters with sound waves
