Question) An observer is approaching with a speed  v, towards a stationary source emitting sound waves of wavelength λ 0 . The wavelength shift defected by the observer is. (Take c = speed of sound )
( 1 )   λ 0 v c ( 2 )   λ 0 c v ( 3 )   λ 0 v 2 c 2 ( 4 )   Z e r o

Dear Student,

Doppler shift for a sound wave, when the observer is moving towards a stationary source

λ'=λc+vcwhere,λ' is observed wavelengthλ0 original wavelengthc is speed of wavev speed of observerwavelength shiftλ'-λ0=λ0c+vc-λ0λ=λ0vc

Regards.
