$A$ source $S$ emitting sound of frequency $288 \,Hz$ is fixed on block $B$ which is attached to the free end of a spring $S_2$, and an observer $O$ is on block $A$ which is attached to the free end of spring $S_1$ as shown in the figure. The blocks $A$ and $B$ are simultaneously displaced towards each other through a distance of $0.5 \,m$ and then left to oscillate. If the angular velocity of each block is $40 \,rad/s$, then the maximum frequency observed by the observer is (speed of sound in air is $340 \,m/s$): (in $\,Hz$)

  • A
    $288$
  • B
    $310$
  • C
    $324$
  • D

$A$ source of sound emits a sound wave of frequency '$f$' and moves towards an observer with a velocity $\frac{V}{3}$,where $V$ is the velocity of sound. If the observer moves away from the source with a velocity $\frac{V}{5}$,the apparent frequency heard by him will be:

$A$ car moves towards a hill with speed $v_c$. It blows a horn of frequency $f$ which is heard by an observer following the car with speed $v_o$. The speed of sound in air is $v$.

Two men are walking along a horizontal straight line in the same direction. The man in front walks at a speed of $1.0 \,m \,s^{-1}$ and the man behind walks at a speed of $2.0 \,m \,s^{-1}$. $A$ third man is standing at a height of $12 \,m$ above the same horizontal line such that all three men are in a vertical plane. The two walking men are blowing identical whistles which emit a sound of frequency $1430 \,Hz$. The speed of sound in air is $330 \,m \,s^{-1}$. At the instant when the moving men are $10 \,m$ apart,the stationary man is equidistant from them. The frequency of beats in $Hz$ heard by the stationary man at this instant is:

$A$ policeman on duty detects a drop of $10 \%$ in the pitch of the horn of a moving car as it crosses him. If the velocity of sound is $330 \, m/s$,calculate the speed of the car in $m/s$.

$A$ train,standing in a station-yard,blows a whistle of frequency $400\; Hz$ in still air. The wind starts blowing in the direction from the yard to the station with a speed of $10\; m s^{-1}$. What are the frequency,wavelength,and speed of sound for an observer standing on the station's platform? Is the situation exactly identical to the case when the air is still and the observer runs towards the yard at a speed of $10\; m s^{-1}$? The speed of sound in still air can be taken as $340\; m s^{-1}$.
