MCQ
A whistle revolves in a circle with an angular speed of $20 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{sec}$ using a string of length $50 \mathrm{~cm}$. If the frequency of sound from the whistle is $385 \mathrm{~Hz}$, then what is the minimum frequency heard by an observer, which is far away from the centre in the same plane ? ( $v=$ $340 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s})$
  • A
    $333 \mathrm{~Hz}$
  • $374 \mathrm{~Hz}$
  • C
    $385 \mathrm{~Hz}$
  • D
    $394 \mathrm{~Hz}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$374 \mathrm{~Hz}$
(b) Minimum frequency will be heard, when whistle moves away from the listener.
$n_{\min }=n\left(\frac{v}{v+v_s}\right) \text { where } v=r \omega=0.5 \times 10=1 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} $
$\Rightarrow n_{\min }=385\left(\frac{340}{340+10}\right)=374 \mathrm{~Hz} .$

Two metallic plates $A$ and $B$, each of area $5 \times 10 \mathrm{~m}$ are placed parallel to each other at a separation of $1 \mathrm{~cm}$. Plate $B$ carries a positive charge of $33.7 \mathrm{pc}$. A monochromatic beam of light, with photons of energy $5 \mathrm{eV}$ each, starts falling on plate $A$ at $t=0$, so that $10\ -$ photons fall on it per square meter per second. Assume that one photoelectron is emitted for every $10$ incident photons. Also assume that all the emitted photoelectrons are collected by plate $B$ and the work function of plate $A$ remains constant at the value $2 \mathrm{eV}$.
