$A$ racing car moving towards a cliff sounds its horn. The driver observes that the sound reflected from the cliff has a pitch one octave higher than the actual sound of the horn. If $v$ is the velocity of sound,the velocity of the car will be

  • A
    $\frac{v}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • B
    $\frac{v}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{v}{3}$
  • D
    $\frac{v}{4}$

$A$ train whistling at a constant frequency is moving towards a station at a constant speed $V_S$. The train goes past a stationary observer on the station. The frequency $n'$ of the sound as heard by the observer is plotted as a function of time $t$. Identify the expected curve.

The difference between the apparent frequency of a source of sound as perceived by an observer during its approach and recession is $2\%$ of the natural frequency of the source. If the velocity of sound in air is $300 \, m/s$,the velocity of the source is ... $m/s$ (Given that velocity of source < velocity of sound).

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.

The driver of a car travelling with speed $30 \, m/s$ towards a hill sounds a horn of frequency $600 \, Hz$. If the velocity of sound in air is $330 \, m/s$,the frequency of reflected sound as heard by the driver is .... $Hz$.
