$A$ whistle emitting a loud sound of frequency $540 \,Hz$ is whirled in a horizontal circle of radius $2 \,m$ at a constant angular speed of $15 \,rad/s$. The speed of sound is $330 \,m/s$. The ratio of the highest to the lowest frequency heard by a listener standing at rest at a large distance from the centre of the circle is

  • A
    $1.0$
  • B
    $1.1$
  • C
    $1.2$
  • D
    $1.4$

$A$ police van,moving at $22 \, m/s$,chases a motorcyclist. The policeman sounds a horn at $176 \, Hz$,while both of them move towards a stationary siren of frequency $165 \, Hz$ as shown in the figure. If the motorcyclist does not observe any beats,his speed must be .... $m/s$ (take the speed of sound $= 330 \, m/s$).

What should be the velocity of a sound source moving towards a stationary observer so that the apparent frequency is double the actual frequency? (Velocity of sound is $v$)

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 $,Hz$)

$A$ train whistling at a constant frequency is moving towards a station at a constant speed $V_S$. The train goes past a stationary observer on the station. The frequency $n'$ of the sound as heard by the observer is plotted as a function of time $t$. Identify the expected curve.

$A$ bat moving at $10\,ms^{-1}$ towards a wall sends a sound signal of $8000\,Hz$ towards it. On reflection it hears a sound of frequency $f$. The value of $f$ in $Hz$ is close to (speed of sound $= 320\,ms^{-1}$)
