$A$ car is moving at a velocity of $17 \ m/s$ towards an approaching bus that blows a horn at a frequency of $640 \ Hz$ on a straight track. The frequency of this horn appears to be $680 \ Hz$ to the car driver. If the velocity of sound in air is $340 \ m/s$, then the velocity of the approaching bus is: (in $m/s$)

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $4$
  • C
    $8$
  • D
    $10$

Two factories are sounding their sirens at $800 \, Hz$. $A$ man walks from one factory to the other at a speed of $2 \, m/s$. The velocity of sound is $320 \, m/s$. The number of beats heard by the person in one second will be:

$A$ person observes two moving trains,$A$ reaching the station and $B$ leaving the station with equal speed of $30\,m/s$. If both trains emit sounds with frequency $300\,Hz$,(Speed of sound : $330\,m/s$) the approximate difference of frequencies heard by the person will be $..........Hz$.

$A$ train moves towards a stationary observer with a speed of $34 \ m/s$. The train sounds a whistle and its frequency registered by the observer is $f_1$. If the train's speed is reduced to $17 \ m/s$,the frequency registered is $f_2$. If the speed of sound is $340 \ m/s$,then the ratio $f_1/f_2$ is:

$A$ train blowing a whistle of frequency $320\,Hz$ approaches an observer standing on the platform at a speed of $66\,m/s$. The frequency observed by the observer will be (given speed of sound $= 330\,m/s$) $.............Hz$.

$A$ source of sound emits sound waves at frequency $f_0$. It is moving towards an observer with fixed speed $v_s$ ($v_s < v$,where $v$ is the speed of sound in air). If the observer were to move towards the source with speed $v_0$,the variation of the frequency $f$ heard by the observer as $v_0$ is changed is given by one of the following two graphs ($A$ and $B$). The variation of $f$ with $v_0$ is given correctly by:
