Three musicians experiment with the Doppler effect. Musician $A$ rides in a car at a speed $u$ directly away from musician $B$ who is stationary. Musician $C$ rides in a car directly toward $B$ and travels at the same speed as $A$. Musician $A$ plays a note at frequency $f_A$ on his trumpet. $B$ hears the note,adjusts his trumpet,and plays the same note he heard. Choose the incorrect statement.

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 $=330 \,ms^{-1}$):
