$A$ driver in a car,approaching a vertical wall,notices that the frequency of his car horn has changed from $440 \, Hz$ to $480 \, Hz$ when it gets reflected from the wall. If the speed of sound in air is $345 \, m/s,$ then the speed of the car is $....... \, km/hr$.

With what velocity should an observer approach a stationary sound source,so that the apparent frequency of sound appears double the actual frequency? (Let $v$ be the velocity of sound).

$A$ train blowing the whistle moves with a constant velocity $V$ away from an observer standing on the platform. The ratio of the natural frequency of the whistle $n$ to the apparent frequency is $1.2: 1$. If the train is at rest and the observer moves away from it at the same velocity $V$,the ratio of $n$ to the apparent frequency is (in $: 1$)

$A$ train sounding a whistle of frequency $510 \,Hz$ approaches a station at $72 \,km/hr$. The frequency of the note heard by an observer on the platform as the train $(1)$ approaches the station and then $(2)$ recedes from the station are respectively (in hertz) (velocity of sound in air $= 320 \,m/s$).

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 $= 330 \,m/s$):

If a source emitting waves of frequency $F$ moves towards an observer with a velocity $V/3$ and the observer moves away from the source with a velocity $V/4$,the apparent frequency as heard by the observer will be ($V=$ velocity of sound).
