Suppose that the speed of sound in air at a given temperature is $400 \ m/s$. An engine blows a whistle at $1200 \ Hz$ frequency. It is approaching an observer at the speed of $100 \ m/s$. What is the apparent frequency as heard by the observer in $Hz$?
- A$600$
- B$1200$
- C$1500$
- D$1600$

$A$ police car moving at $22 \ m/s$ chases a motorcyclist. The policeman sounds his horn at $176 \ Hz$,while both of them move towards a stationary siren of frequency $165 \ Hz$. Calculate the speed of the motorcycle,if it is given that he does not observe any beats. (in $m/s$)

View SolutionTwo sources of sound of same frequency are placed at a distance of $100\,m$ from each other. An observer moving in between them hears $4$ beats per second. If the distance between the sound sources is increased to $400\,m$,then the number of beats heard by him will be:

View Solution$A$ source of sound is moving with a constant velocity of $20\, m/s$ emitting a note of frequency $1000\, Hz.$ The ratio of frequencies observed by a stationary observer while the source is approaching him and after it crosses him will be (Speed of sound $v = 340\, m/s$).

View Solution$A$ 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 $= 320\,ms^{-1}$)
With what speed should a sound source move towards an observer so that the observer hears half the original frequency $(v)$?
