$A$ bus driving along at $39.6 \,km/h$ is approaching a person who is standing at the bus stop,while honking repeatedly at an interval of $30 \,s$. If the speed of sound is $330 \,ms^{-1}$,at what interval will the person hear the horn?

  • A
    $31 \,s$
  • B
    $29 \,s$
  • C
    $30 \,s$
  • D
    The interval will depend on the distance of the bus from the passenger

Two cars $X$ and $Y$ are approaching each other with velocities $36 \; km/h$ and $72 \; km/h$ respectively. The frequency of a whistle sound emitted by a passenger in car $X$,heard by the passenger in car $Y$,is $1320 \; Hz$. If the velocity of sound in air is $340 \; m/s$,the actual frequency of the whistle sound produced is ........ $Hz$.

When both the source of sound and the observer approach each other with a speed equal to $10 \%$ of the speed of sound,then the percentage change in frequency heard by the observer is nearly (in $\%$)

$A$ source of sound $A$ emitting waves of frequency $1800\,Hz$ is falling towards the ground with a terminal speed $v.$ The observer $B$ on the ground directly beneath the source receives waves of frequency $2150\,Hz.$ The source $A$ receives waves,reflected from the ground,of frequency nearly ..... $Hz$ (Speed of sound $= 343\,m/s$)

$A$ 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 $m/s$)
