$A$ source of sound is moving towards a stationary observer with velocity $V_s$ and then moves away with velocity $V_s$. 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 the apparent frequencies heard by the observer is:

  • A
    $\frac{2nV V_s}{V^2 - V_s^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{nV V_s}{V^2 - V_s^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{nV V_s}{V_s^2 + V^2}$
  • D
    $\frac{2nV V_s}{V_s^2 + V^2}$

An observer and a source emitting sound of frequency $120 \,Hz$ are on the $X$-axis. The observer is stationary while the source of sound is in motion given by the equation $x=3 \sin \omega t$ (where $x$ is in metres and $t$ is in seconds). If the difference between the maximum and minimum frequencies of the sound observed by the observer is $22 \,Hz$,then the value of $\omega$ is (speed of sound in air $=330 \,ms^{-1}$):
