$A$ train approaching a railway platform with a speed of $20 \ ms^{-1}$ starts blowing the whistle. The speed of sound in air is $340 \ ms^{-1}$. If the frequency of the emitted sound from the whistle is $640 \ Hz$, the frequency of sound to a person standing on the platform will appear to be: (in $Hz$)

  • A
    $600$
  • B
    $640$
  • C
    $680$
  • D
    $720$

$A$ car is moving towards a high cliff. The car driver sounds a horn of frequency $f$. The reflected sound heard by the driver has a frequency $2f$. If $v$ is the velocity of sound,then the velocity of the car,in the same velocity units,will be:

$A$ car moving towards a wall at a velocity of $72 \,km/hr$ sounds a horn of frequency $124 \,vib/sec$. What frequency will the driver hear? (Speed of sound in air = $330 \,ms^{-1}$)

The observer is moving with velocity $v_0$ towards the stationary source of sound and then after crossing moves away from the source with velocity $v_0$. Assume that the medium through which the sound waves travel is at rest. If $v$ is the velocity of sound and $n$ is the frequency emitted by the source,then the difference between apparent frequencies heard by the observer is:

$A$ detector is released from rest over a source of sound of frequency $f_0 = 10^3 \, Hz$. The frequency observed by the detector at time $t$ is plotted in the graph. Given $g = 10 \, m/s^2$,find the speed of sound in air in $m/s$.

Two sources $A$ and $B$ are sounding notes of frequency $660 \, Hz$. $A$ listener moves from $A$ to $B$ with a constant velocity $u$. If the speed of sound is $330 \, m/s$,what must be the value of $u$ so that he hears $8$ beats per second?
