JEE Advanced 2023 — Paper 2 — Question 39

S1S_{1} and S2S_{2} are two identical sound sources of frequency 656 Hz . The source S1S_{1} is located at OO and S2S_{2} moves anticlockwise with a uniform speed 42 m s−14 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1} on a circular path around O , as shown in the figure. There are three points P,Q\mathrm{P}, \mathrm{Q} and R on this path such that P and R are diametrically opposite while Q is equidistant from them. A sound detector is placed at point PP. The source S1\mathrm{S}_{1} can move along direction OP. [Given: The speed of sound in air is 324 m s−1324 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1} ]

When only S2\mathrm{S}_{2} is emitting sound and it is at Q , the frequency of sound measured by the detector in Hz is ____\_\_\_\_ —.

Answer: 648

Numerical answer — enter this value.

Step-by-step solution

Apparent frequency, f=(vv+vscos⁡45)f0f=\left(\frac{v}{v+v_{s} \cos 45}\right) f_{0} f=(324324+4)656(vs=42 m/s)\mathrm{f}=\left(\frac{324}{324+4}\right) 656 \left(\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{s}}=4 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\right) f=(324328×656)\mathrm{f}=\left(\frac{324}{328} \times 656\right) f=648 Hz\mathrm{f}=648 \mathrm{~Hz}.
