A boy riding on his bike is going towards east at a speed of 4√2ms−1. At a certain point he produces a sound pulse of frequency 1650 Hz that travels in air at a speed of 334ms−1. A second boy stands on the ground 45∘C south of east from him. Find the frequency of the pulse as received by the second boy.
u=334m/s,vb=4√2m/s,vo=0
So,vs=vb cos θ=4√2×(1√2)=4m/s.
So,the apparent frequency f′=(u+0u−vbcosθ)f
=(334334−4)1650=1670Hz.
