$A$ toy-car,blowing its horn,is moving with a steady speed of $5\, m/s$,away from a wall. An observer,towards whom the toy car is moving,is able to hear $5\, beats$ per second. If the velocity of sound in air is $340\, m/s$,the frequency of the horn of the toy car is close to ... $Hz$

$A$ sound source is moving on a circular path of radius $R$ with constant angular speed $\omega$ in an anticlockwise direction and emits a frequency $n$. An observer performs simple harmonic motion along the path $QPR$ with time period $T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega}$ as shown in the figure. If at $t = 0$ the source is at $A$ and the observer is at $Q$,and assuming $OP$ is very large compared to the radius $R$ and $QP$,then:

$A$ $SONAR$ system fixed in a submarine operates at a frequency of $40.0 \; kHz$. An enemy submarine moves towards the $SONAR$ with a speed of $360 \; km/h$. What is the frequency (in $kHz$) of sound reflected by the submarine (in $; kHz$)? Take the speed of sound in water to be $1450 \; m/s$.

When the observer moves towards a stationary source with velocity $V_{1}$,the apparent frequency of the emitted note is $F_{1}$. When the observer moves away from the source with velocity $V_{1}$,the apparent frequency is $F_{2}$. If $V$ is the velocity of sound in air and $F_{1} / F_{2} = 2$,then $V / V_{1}$ is equal to:
