$A$ 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 train's speed is reduced to $17 \ m/s$,the frequency registered is $f_2$. If the speed of sound is $340 \ m/s$,then the ratio $f_1/f_2$ is:

  • A
    $18/19$
  • B
    $1/2$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $19/18$

$A$ drone fitted with a siren is flying directly away from the drone operator and towards a distant building at a speed of $15 \,m/s$. The siren produces a sound of frequency $780 \,Hz$. What is the frequency that the operator hears in the echo reflected from the building (in $\,Hz$)? [Speed of sound is $340 \,m/s$.]

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.
