$A$ stationary source is emitting sound at a fixed frequency $f_0$,which is reflected by two cars approaching the source. The difference between the frequencies of sound reflected from the cars is $1.2\%$ of $f_0$. What is the difference in the speeds of the cars (in $km/h$) to the nearest integer? The cars are moving at constant speeds much smaller than the speed of sound,which is $330 \ m/s$.

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $7$
  • C
    $5$

Two trucks heading in opposite directions, each with a speed of $0.1 u$, approach each other. The speed of sound is $u$. The driver of the first truck sounds his horn with a frequency of $495 \,Hz$. Let $v_1$ and $v_2$ be the frequencies heard by the driver of the second truck when the trucks are approaching each other and when the trucks have passed each other, respectively. The magnitude of $v_1 - v_2$ is (in $\,Hz$)

Two sirens situated one kilometer apart are producing sound of frequency $330 \ Hz$. An observer starts moving from one siren to the other with a speed of $2 \ m/s$. If the speed of sound is $330 \ m/s$,what will be the beat frequency heard by the observer?

$A$ train is moving on a straight track with speed $20 \ ms^{-1}$. It is blowing its whistle at a frequency of $1000 \ Hz$. The percentage change in the frequency heard by a person standing near the track as the train passes him is (speed of sound $= 320 \ ms^{-1}$) close to .... $\%$

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 $= 330 \,m/s$):

$A$ reflector is moving with $20 \,m/s$ towards a stationary source of sound. If the source is producing sound waves of $160 \,Hz$, then the wavelength of the reflected wave is (speed of sound in air is $340 \,m/s$).
