When a source of sound crosses a stationary observer,the change in apparent frequency of sound observed by the observer,when $V_s << V$,will be -

  • A
    $\Delta n = \frac{2 n V_s}{V}$
  • B
    $\Delta n = \frac{2 n V}{V_s}$
  • C
    $\Delta n = 2 n V_s V$
  • D
    $\Delta n = \frac{2 n V_0}{V}$
