$A$ source of sound $S$ emitting waves of frequency $100 \, Hz$ and an observer $O$ are located at some distance from each other. The source is moving with a speed of $19.4 \, m s^{-1}$ at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the source-observer line as shown in the figure. The observer is at rest. The apparent frequency observed by the observer is .... $Hz$ (velocity of sound in air $330 \, m s^{-1}$).

Consider two sound sources $S_1$ and $S_2$ having the same frequency $100\,Hz$ and the observer $O$ located between them as shown in the figure. All three are moving with the same velocity in the same direction. The beat frequency heard by the observer is .... $Hz$.

When an engine passes near a stationary observer,its apparent frequencies occur in the ratio $5/3$. If the velocity of sound is $340 \ m/s$,then the velocity of the engine is .... $m/s$.

$A$ train,standing in a station-yard,blows a whistle of frequency $400\; Hz$ in still air. The wind starts blowing in the direction from the yard to the station with a speed of $10\; m s^{-1}$. What are the frequency,wavelength,and speed of sound for an observer standing on the station's platform? Is the situation exactly identical to the case when the air is still and the observer runs towards the yard at a speed of $10\; m s^{-1}$? The speed of sound in still air can be taken as $340\; m s^{-1}$.

$A$ person observes two moving trains. Train $A$ is reaching the station and train $B$ is leaving the station, both with an equal speed of $30 \text{ m/s}$. If both trains emit sounds with a frequency of $300 \text{ Hz}$, and the speed of sound is $330 \text{ m/s}$, what is the difference in the frequencies heard by the person (in $\text{ Hz}$)?

Obtain the equation of frequency observed by a moving observer and a stationary source.
