- 5. Multiple Choice
When source is moving with ‘velocity towards an observer at rest, then apparent frequency is -
none of the above
- 6. Multiple Choice
If wind is also blowing with a velocity w in the direction of sound, then its velocity is added to the velocity of sound. Hence, in this condition the apparent frequency is givenby
True
False
