A source of sound is moving towards a stationary observer with $\left(\frac{1}{10}\right)^{\text{th}}$ the speed of sound. The ratio of apparent to real frequency is
Show Hint
When the source moves toward the observer, the frequency increases, so the ratio must be greater than 1.

A source of sound S emitting waves of frequency 100Hz and an observer O are located at some distance from each other. The source is moving with a speed of 19.4m s⁻1 at an angle of 60^∘ with the source–observer line as shown in the figure. The observer is at rest. Find the apparent frequency observed by the observer. (Velocity of sound in air =330m s⁻1).
