$A$ stationary source of sound $A$ is producing sound of frequency $170 \, Hz$. Another source of sound $B$ producing sound of frequency $240 \, Hz$ is moving towards the source $A$ on a straight path with a uniform speed of $20 \, ms^{-1}$. An observer between $A$ and $B$ is moving towards the source $A$ along the straight path $BA$. If the number of beats heard by the observer is zero, the speed of the observer is . . . . . . $ms^{-1}$. (Speed of sound in air $= 340 \, ms^{-1}$).

$A$ stationary source is emitting sound at a fixed frequency $f_0$,which is reflected by two cars approaching the source. The difference between the frequencies of sound reflected from the cars is $1.2\%$ of $f_0$. What is the difference in the speeds of the cars (in $km/h$) to the nearest integer? The cars are moving at constant speeds much smaller than the speed of sound,which is $330 \ m/s$.

$A$ sound source $S$ is moving along a straight track with speed $v,$ and is emitting sound of frequency $v_{0}.$ An observer is standing at a finite distance,at the point $O,$ from the track. The time variation of frequency heard by the observer is best represented by (where $t_{0}$ represents the instant when the distance between the source and observer is minimum).

$A$ train blowing the whistle moves with a constant velocity $V$ away from an observer standing on the platform. The ratio of the natural frequency of the whistle $n$ to the apparent frequency is $1.2: 1$. If the train is at rest and the observer moves away from it at the same velocity $V$,the ratio of $n$ to the apparent frequency is (in $: 1$)

$A$ train is moving towards a stationary observer with speed $34 \text{ m/s}$. $A$ train sounds a whistle of frequency $450 \text{ Hz}$. If the speed of sound is $340 \text{ m/s}$, the frequency heard by the observer in Hz is

$A$ student holds a tuning fork oscillating at $170 \,Hz$. He walks towards a wall at a constant speed of $2 \,ms^{-1}$. The beat frequency observed by the student between the tuning fork and its echo is (Velocity of sound $=340 \,ms^{-1}$ ) (in $\,Hz$)
