    $4$

An observer moves towards a stationary source of sound with a speed $\frac{1}{5}^{\text{th}}$ of the speed of sound. The wavelength and frequency of the waves emitted by the source are $\lambda$ and $f$ respectively. The apparent frequency and wavelength heard by the observer are respectively,

Suppose that the speed of sound in air at a given temperature is $400 \ m/s$. An engine blows a whistle at $1200 \ Hz$ frequency. It is approaching an observer at the speed of $100 \ m/s$. What is the apparent frequency as heard by the observer in $Hz$?

An Indian submarine $(I)$ and an enemy submarine $(E)$ move towards each other in motionless water. The Indian submarine moves at $50 \ km/h$,and the enemy submarine at $70 \ km/h$. The Indian submarine sends out a sonar signal (sound wave in water) at $1000 \ Hz$. The sonar wave reflects off the enemy submarine and returns to the Indian submarine. If the speed of sound in water is $5500 \ km/h$,what is the frequency of the reflected signal detected by the Indian submarine in $kHz$ (in $kHz$)?

An observer starts moving with uniform acceleration $a$ toward a stationary sound source emitting a whistle of frequency $n$. As the observer approaches the source,the apparent frequency $n'$ heard by the observer varies with time $t$ as:

$Assertion :$ The Doppler formula for sound waves is symmetric with respect to the speed of the source and the speed of the observer.
$Reason :$ The motion of a source with respect to a stationary observer is not equivalent to the motion of an observer with respect to a stationary source.
