A passenger is sitting in a train which is moving fast. The engine of the train blows a whistle of frequency ' $n$ '. If the apparent frequency of sound heard by the passenger is ' $f$ ' then
  1. $\mathrm{f}=\mathrm{n}$
  2. $\mathrm{f}>\mathrm{n}$
  3. f $ < $ n
  4. $\mathrm{f} \leq \mathrm{n}$

Solution

There is no relative motion between source and listener. $\therefore \quad \mathrm{f}=\mathrm{n}$
