Correct answer: 648

Step-by-step Solution:

  1. Understand the problem setup and identify given values:

    • A stationary sound detector is at point PPP.
    • A sound source S2S_2S2​ moves anti-clockwise on a circular path around center OOO.
    • The detector PPP is also on this path.
    • Points PPP and RRR are diametrically opposite, and point QQQ is equidistant from PPP and RRR. This geometric arrangement implies that the angle ∠POQ\angle POQ∠POQ is 90∘90^\circ90∘, and △POQ\triangle POQ△POQ is a right-angled isosceles triangle.
    • Frequency of the source, f0=656 Hzf_0 = 656 \mathrm{~Hz}f0​=656 Hz.
    • Speed of the source, vs=42 m/sv_s = 4\sqrt{2} \mathrm{~m/s}vs​=42​ m/s.
    • Speed of sound in air, v=324 m/sv = 324 \mathrm{~m/s}v=324 m/s.
    • We need to find the frequency measured by the detector at PPP when the source S2S_2S2​ is at QQQ.
  2. Apply the Doppler Effect formula: The general formula for the apparent frequency f′f'f′ heard by a stationary observer from a moving source is: f′=f0(vv−v∣∣)f' = f_0 \left( \frac{v}{v - v_{||}} \right)f′=f0​(v−v∣∣​v​) where v∣∣v_{||}v∣∣​ is the component of the source's velocity along the line connecting the source to the observer. This component is taken as positive if the source is moving towards the observer and negative if it is moving away.

  3. Determine the geometry and the velocity component v∣∣v_{||}v∣∣​:

    • Let the center of the circle OOO be the origin (0,0)(0,0)(0,0). Let the radius of the circle be rrr.
    • Let the position of the detector PPP be (r,0)(r, 0)(r,0).
    • Since QQQ is on the circle and ∠POQ=90∘\angle POQ = 90^\circ∠POQ=90∘ (due to anti-clockwise motion from PPP), the position of the source S2S_2S2​ at QQQ is (0,r)(0, r)(0,r).
    • The velocity of the source S2S_2S2​ is always tangent to the circular path. At point Q(0,r)Q(0, r)Q(0,r), for anti-clockwise motion, the velocity vector v⃗s\vec{v}_svs​ is directed along the negative x-axis. So, v⃗s=(−vs,0)\vec{v}_s = (-v_s, 0)vs​=(−vs​,0).
    • The line connecting the source S2S_2S2​ (at QQQ) to the observer (at PPP) is represented by the vector QP⃗=P⃗−Q⃗=(r,0)−(0,r)=(r,−r)\vec{QP} = \vec{P} - \vec{Q} = (r, 0) - (0, r) = (r, -r)QP​=P−Q​=(r,0)−(0,r)=(r,−r).
    • The component of the source's velocity along the line of sight (QPQPQP) is the projection of v⃗s\vec{v}_svs​ onto QP⃗\vec{QP}QP​. Let θ\thetaθ be the angle between v⃗s\vec{v}_svs​ and QP⃗\vec{QP}QP​. Then v∣∣=vscos⁡θv_{||} = v_s \cos\thetav∣∣​=vs​cosθ.
    • Alternatively, we can use the dot product: v∣∣=v⃗s⋅u^QPv_{||} = \vec{v}_s \cdot \hat{u}_{QP}v∣∣​=vs​⋅u^QP​, where u^QP\hat{u}_{QP}u^QP​ is the unit vector from QQQ to PPP. u^QP=QP⃗∣QP⃗∣=(r,−r)r2+(−r)2=(r,−r)r2=(12,−12)\hat{u}_{QP} = \frac{\vec{QP}}{|\vec{QP}|} = \frac{(r, -r)}{\sqrt{r^2 + (-r)^2}} = \frac{(r, -r)}{r\sqrt{2}} = \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)u^QP​=∣QP​∣QP​​=r2+(−r)2​(r,−r)​=r2​(r,−r)​=(2​1​,−2​1​)
    • Now, we calculate v∣∣v_{||}v∣∣​: v∣∣=(−vs,0)⋅(12,−12)=−vs(12)+0=−vs2v_{||} = (-v_s, 0) \cdot \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right) = -v_s \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right) + 0 = -\frac{v_s}{\sqrt{2}}v∣∣​=(−vs​,0)⋅(2​1​,−2​1​)=−vs​(2​1​)+0=−2​vs​​
    • The negative sign indicates that the source is effectively moving away from the observer along the line of sight.
  4. Calculate the numerical value of v∣∣v_{||}v∣∣​:

    • Given vs=42 m/sv_s = 4\sqrt{2} \mathrm{~m/s}vs​=42​ m/s.
    • v∣∣=−422=−4 m/sv_{||} = -\frac{4\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}} = -4 \mathrm{~m/s}v∣∣​=−2​42​​=−4 m/s.
  5. Calculate the apparent frequency f′f'f′:

    • Substitute the values into the Doppler formula: f′=f0(vv−v∣∣)=656(324324−(−4))f' = f_0 \left( \frac{v}{v - v_{||}} \right) = 656 \left( \frac{324}{324 - (-4)} \right)f′=f0​(v−v∣∣​v​)=656(324−(−4)324​) f′=656(324324+4)=656(324328)f' = 656 \left( \frac{324}{324 + 4} \right) = 656 \left( \frac{324}{328} \right)f′=656(324+4324​)=656(328324​)
    • Simplify the fraction: 324328=324÷4328÷4=8182\frac{324}{328} = \frac{324 \div 4}{328 \div 4} = \frac{81}{82}328324​=328÷4324÷4​=8281​
    • Now, calculate f′f'f′: f′=656×8182f' = 656 \times \frac{81}{82}f′=656×8281​
    • We notice that 656=8×82656 = 8 \times 82656=8×82. f′=(8×82)×8182=8×81f' = (8 \times 82) \times \frac{81}{82} = 8 \times 81f′=(8×82)×8281​=8×81 f′=648 Hzf' = 648 \mathrm{~Hz}f′=648 Hz

Final Answer: The frequency of sound measured by the detector is 648 Hz648 \mathrm{~Hz}648 Hz.
