$A$ bus is moving with a velocity of $5 \, ms^{-1}$ towards a huge wall. The driver sounds a horn of frequency $165 \, Hz$. If the speed of sound in air is $335 \, ms^{-1}$, the number of beats heard per second by the passengers in the bus will be:

  • A
    $6$
  • B
    $4$
  • C
    $3$
  • D

$A$ train,standing at the outer signal of a railway station,blows a whistle of frequency $400\; Hz$ in still air.
$(i)$ What is the frequency of the whistle for a platform observer when the train $(a)$ approaches the platform with a speed of $10\; m s^{-1}$,$(b)$ recedes from the platform with a speed of $10\; m s^{-1}$?
$(ii)$ What is the speed of sound in each case? The speed of sound in still air can be taken as $340\; m s^{-1}$.

$A$ train moving at a speed of $220\, m s^{-1}$ towards a stationary object,emits a sound of frequency $1000\, Hz$. Some of the sound reaching the object gets reflected back to the train as an echo. The frequency of the echo as detected by the driver of the train is ...... $Hz$. (Speed of sound in air is $330\, m s^{-1}$)
