$A$ passenger is sitting in a train which is moving fast. The engine of the train blows a whistle of frequency $n$. If the apparent frequency of sound heard by the passenger is $f$, then:

  • A
    $f=n$
  • B
    $f > n$
  • C
    $f < n$
  • D
    $f \leq n$

$A$ police van,moving at $22 \, m/s$,chases a motorcyclist. The policeman sounds a horn at $176 \, Hz$,while both of them move towards a stationary siren of frequency $165 \, Hz$ as shown in the figure. If the motorcyclist does not observe any beats,his speed must be .... $m/s$ (take the speed of sound $= 330 \, m/s$).

$A$ source of sound of frequency $n$ is moving towards a stationary observer with a speed $S$. If the speed of sound in air is $V$ and the frequency heard by the observer is $n_1$,the value of $n_1/n$ is

What should be the velocity of a sound source moving towards a stationary observer so that the apparent frequency is double the actual frequency? (Velocity of sound is $v$)

The apparent frequency of a sound wave as heard by an observer is $10\%$ more than the actual frequency. If the velocity of sound in air is $330 \, m/s$,then
$(i)$ The source may be moving towards the observer with a velocity of $30 \, m/s$
$(ii)$ The source may be moving towards the observer with a velocity of $33 \, m/s$
$(iii)$ The observer may be moving towards the source with a velocity of $30 \, m/s$
$(iv)$ The observer may be moving towards the source with a velocity of $33 \, m/s$
