Solution

The correct option is C distance between source and observer
Change of frequency due to the Doppler effect is :

$¯ n = n (\frac{v - v_{0}}{v - v_{s}})$ . This is independent of distance between source and observer.

Q. The change in frequency due to Doppler effect does not depend on
(a) the speed of the source
(b) the speed of the observer
(c) the frequency of the source
(d) separation between the source and the observer.

Q. In discussing Doppler effect, we use the word "apparent frequency". Does it mean that the frequency of the sound is still that of the source and it is some physiological phenomenon in the listener's ear that gives rise to Doppler effect? Think for the observer approaching the source and for the source approaching the observer.

Q. A source emitting a sound of frequency f is placed at a large distance from an observer. The source starts moving towards the observer with a uniform acceleration ‘a’. Find frequency heard by the observer corresponding to the wave emitted just after the source starts. The speed of sound in medium is v.

Q. Assertion :Doppler formula for sound wave is symmetric with respect to the speed of the source and speed of the observer. Reason: Motion of source with respect to stationary observer is not equivalent to the motion of an observer with respect to the stationary source

Q. A fixed source of sound emitting a certain frequency appears as

f_{a}

when the observer is approaching the source with speed v and frequency

f_{r}

when the observer recedes from the source with the same speed. The frequency of the source is
