$A$ car sounding a horn of frequency $1200 \text{ Hz}$ passes a stationary observer. The ratio of frequencies of the horn noted by the observer before and after passing the car is $7:5$. If the speed of sound is $V$,the speed of the car is:

  • A
    $V/6$
  • B
    $V/2$
  • C
    $V/8$
  • D
    $V/12$

$A$ whistle revolves in a circle with an angular speed of $20 \; rad/s$ using a string of length $50 \; cm.$ If the frequency of sound from the whistle is $385 \; Hz,$ then what is the minimum frequency heard by an observer,who is far away from the centre in the same plane? $(v = 340 \; m/s)$

When the source of sound moves away from a stationary listener,we obtain $f_{L} < f_{S}$. Why?
