$A$ car sounding a horn of frequency $1000 \ Hz$ passes a stationary observer. The ratio of frequencies of the horn noted by the observer before and after passing the car is $11:9$. If the speed of sound is $v$,the speed of the car is:

  • A
    $v$
  • B
    $\frac{v}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{v}{5}$
  • D
    $\frac{v}{10}$

$A$ car moving towards a wall at a velocity of $30 \, m/s$ sounds a horn of frequency $600 \, Hz$. What frequency $(Hz)$ will the driver hear? (Speed of sound in air = $330 \, m/s$)

Obtain the equation for the frequency observed by a stationary observer when the source is moving.

$S_1$ and $S_2$ are two identical sound sources of frequency $656 \ Hz$. The source $S_1$ is located at $O$ and $S_2$ moves anti-clockwise with a uniform speed $4 \sqrt{2} \ ms^{-1}$ on a circular path around $O$,as shown in the figure. There are three points $P, Q$ and $R$ on this path such that $P$ and $R$ are diametrically opposite while $Q$ is equidistant from them. $A$ sound detector is placed at point $P$. The source $S_1$ can move along direction $OP$.
[Given: The speed of sound in air is $324 \ ms^{-1}$]
$(1)$ When only $S_2$ is emitting sound and it is at $Q$,the frequency of sound measured by the detector in $Hz$ is. . . . . .
$(2)$ Consider both sources emitting sound. When $S_2$ is at $R$ and $S_1$ approaches the detector with a speed $4 \ ms^{-1}$,the beat frequency measured by the detector is $\qquad$ $Hz$.

Doppler's effect will not be applicable when the velocity of sound source is

When an observer moves towards a stationary source with velocity $V_1$,the apparent frequency of the emitted note is $F_1$. When the observer moves away from the stationary source with velocity $V_1$,the apparent frequency is $F_2$. If $v$ is the velocity of sound in air and $\frac{F_1}{F_2} = 2$,then $\frac{v}{V_1}$ is equal to:
