Two cars are moving on two perpendicular roads towards a crossing with uniform speeds of $72\; km/hr$ and $36\; km/hr$. If the first car blows a horn of frequency $280\; Hz$,then the frequency of the horn heard by the driver of the second car when the line joining the cars makes a $45^o$ angle with the roads will be .... $Hz$.

$A$ bus moving with a uniform speed of $72 \,km/h$ towards a building blows a horn of frequency $1.7 \,kHz$. If the speed of sound in air is $340 \,m/s$, what will be the frequency of the echo heard by the bus driver (in $\,kHz$)?

An observer is standing $500 \,m$ away from a vertical hill. Starting between the observer and the hill, a police van sounding a siren of frequency $1000 \,Hz$ moves towards the hill with a uniform speed. If the frequency of the sound heard directly from the siren is $970 \,Hz$, the frequency of the sound heard after reflection from the hill (in $Hz$) is about, (velocity of sound $= 330 \,m/s$):

$A$ source of sound is travelling at $\frac{100}{3} \, m/s$ along a road,towards a point $A$. When the source is $3 \, m$ away from $A$,a person is standing at a point $O$ on a road perpendicular to the path of the source. The distance of $O$ from $A$ at that time is $4 \, m$. If the original frequency is $640 \, Hz$,then the apparent frequency heard by the person is ...... $Hz$ (speed of sound is $340 \, m/s$).

If a source emitting waves of frequency $f$ moves towards an observer with a velocity $v/4$ and the observer moves away from the source with a velocity $v/6$,the apparent frequency as heard by the observer will be ($v =$ velocity of sound).
