An observer is riding on a bicycle and moving towards a hill at $18\,km\,h^{-1}$. He hears a sound from a source at some distance behind him directly as well as after its reflection from the hill. If the original frequency of the sound as emitted by the source is $640\,Hz$ and the velocity of sound in air is $320\,m/s$,the beat frequency between the two sounds heard by the observer will be $...Hz$.

  • A
    $19$
  • B
    $200$
  • C
    $20$
  • D

$A$ sounding body of negligible dimension emitting a frequency of $150\, Hz$ is dropped from a height. During its fall under gravity,it passes near a balloon moving up with a constant velocity of $2\, m/s$ one second after it started to fall. The difference in the frequency observed by the man in the balloon just before and just after crossing the body will be: (Given: velocity of sound $= 300\, m/s$; $g = 10\, m/s^2$) (in $, Hz$)

$A$ source and an observer move away from each other with the same velocity of $10 \,ms^{-1}$ with respect to the ground. If the observer finds the frequency of sound coming from the source as $1980 \,Hz$, then the actual frequency of the source is (speed of sound in air $= 340 \,ms^{-1}$). (in $\,Hz$)

$A$ sound source,emitting sound of constant frequency,moves with a constant speed and crosses a stationary observer. The frequency $(n)$ of sound heard by the observer is plotted against time $(t)$. Which of the following graphs represents the correct variation?

$A$ source of sound of frequency $90 \text{ vibrations/sec}$ is approaching a stationary observer with a speed equal to $1/10$ the speed of sound. What will be the frequency heard by the observer in $\text{vibrations/sec}$?

An obstacle is moving towards the source with velocity $v$. The sound is reflected from the obstacle. If $c$ is the speed of sound and $\lambda$ is the wavelength,then the wavelength of the reflected wave $(\lambda_{r})$ is
