$A$ vehicle with a horn of frequency $n$ is moving with a velocity of $30\, m/s$ in a direction perpendicular to the straight line joining the observer and the vehicle. The observer perceives the sound to have a frequency $n + n_1$. Then (if the sound velocity in air is $300\, m/s$):

  • A
    $n_1 = 10\,n$
  • B
    $n_1 = 0$
  • C
    $n_1 = 0.1\,n$
  • D
    $n_1 = -0.1\,n$

$A$ police car horn emits a sound at a frequency $240 \text{ Hz}$ when the car is at rest. If the speed of sound is $330 \text{ m/s}$,the frequency heard by an observer who is approaching the car at a speed of $11 \text{ m/s}$ is ... $\text{ Hz}$.

$A$ stationary sound source $S$ of frequency $334 \, Hz$ and a stationary observer $O$ are placed near a reflecting surface moving away from the source with velocity $u = 2 \, m/s$ as shown in the figure. If the velocity of the sound waves in air is $V = 330 \, m/s$,the apparent frequency of the echo heard by the observer is ... $Hz$.

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:

$A$ car $A$ is chasing another car $B$ with a speed of $20 \, m/s$,sounding a horn of frequency $180 \, Hz$. Both cars are moving towards a stationary siren of frequency $170 \, Hz$. What is the speed of car $B$ so that it does not hear any beats (in $, m/s$)? (Speed of sound $= 340 \, m/s$)

When both the source of sound and the observer approach each other with a speed equal to $10 \%$ of the speed of sound,then the percentage change in frequency heard by the observer is nearly (in $\%$)
