$A$ source of sound emits sound waves at frequency $f_0$. It is moving towards an observer with fixed speed $v_s$ ($v_s < v$,where $v$ is the speed of sound in air). If the observer were to move towards the source with speed $v_0$,the variation of the frequency $f$ heard by the observer as $v_0$ is changed is given by one of the following two graphs ($A$ and $B$). The variation of $f$ with $v_0$ is given correctly by:

  • A
    graph $A$ with slope $= \frac{f_0}{v - v_s}$
  • B
    graph $B$ with slope $= \frac{f_0}{v - v_s}$
  • C
    graph $A$ with slope $= \frac{f_0}{v - v_s}$
  • D
    graph $B$ with slope $= \frac{f_0}{v + v_s}$

$A$ source with a frequency of $500 \,Hz$ moves towards a stationary observer with a velocity of $30 \,m/s$. What frequency (in $Hz$) will the observer hear? (The speed of sound in air is $330 \,m/s$.)

The engine of a train moving with speed $10\,ms^{-1}$ towards a platform sounds a whistle at frequency $400\,Hz$. The frequency heard by a passenger inside the train is $........\,Hz$ (neglect air speed. Speed of sound in air $330\,ms^{-1}$). (in $,Hz$)

The frequency changes by $10 \%$ as a sound source approaches a stationary observer with constant speed $V_s$. What would be the percentage change in the frequency as the source recedes from the observer with the same speed $\left(V_s < V\right)$ (in $.5$)?

$A$ source emits a sound of frequency $400 \ Hz$,but the listener hears it to be $390 \ Hz$. Then:

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