$A$ train moves towards a stationary observer with a speed of $34 \, m/s$. The train sounds a whistle and its frequency registered by the observer is $f_1$. If the speed of the train is reduced to $17 \, m/s$,the frequency registered is $f_2$. If the speed of sound is $340 \, m/s$,then the ratio $\frac{f_1}{f_2}$ is ..........

  • A
    $\frac{18}{19}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2}$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $\frac{19}{18}$

$A$ source of sound of frequency $450 \text{ cycles/sec}$ is moving towards a stationary observer with $34 \text{ m/sec}$ speed. If the speed of sound is $340 \text{ m/sec}$,then the apparent frequency will be ..... $\text{cycles/sec}$.

An observer is moving towards a stationary source of sound. In this case:

An observer is standing $500 \,m$ away from a vertical hill. Starting between the observer and the hill, a police van sounding a siren of frequency $1000 \,Hz$ moves towards the hill with a uniform speed. If the frequency of the sound heard directly from the siren is $970 \,Hz$, the frequency of the sound heard after reflection from the hill (in $Hz$) is about, (velocity of sound $= 330 \,m/s$):

The observer is moving with velocity $v_0$ towards the stationary source of sound and then after crossing moves away from the source with velocity $v_0$. Assume that the medium through which the sound waves travel is at rest. If $v$ is the velocity of sound and $n$ is the frequency emitted by the source,then the difference between apparent frequencies heard by the observer is:

$A$ train is moving towards a stationary observer. Which of the following curves best represents the frequency $f$ received by the observer as a function of time $t$?
