A man is watching two trains one leaving and other approaching with equal velocities of 4 ms^(-1). If they sound their whistles each of natural frequency 240 hz, the number of beats heard per seceond by the mas will be (velocity of sound in air 320 ms^(-1) ) :

Answer»

6
12
4
None of these.

SOLUTION :here `V_(1) = ((320)/(320 - 4)) 240 = 243` Hz. ,
and `v_(2) = ((320)/(320 + 4)) 240 = 237 Hz. `,
`THEREFORE` beat frequency , b = `v_(1) - v_(2)`
= 243 - 237 = 6 Hz.
Hence the correct choice is (a).
