The apparent frequency of a note,when a listener moves towards a stationary source with a velocity of $40 \ m/s$,is $200 \ Hz$. When the listener moves away from the same source with the same speed,the apparent frequency of the same note is $160 \ Hz$. The velocity of sound in air is (in $m/s$):

  • A
    $360$
  • B
    $330$
  • C
    $320$
  • D
    $340$

$A$ train moves towards a stationary observer with speed $34\, m/s$. The train sounds a whistle and its frequency registered by the observer is $f_1$. If the speed of the train is reduced to $17\, m/s$,the frequency registered is $f_2$. If the speed of sound is $340\, m/s$,then the ratio $f_1/f_2$ is

$A$ train sounding a whistle of frequency $510 \,Hz$ approaches a station at $72 \,km/hr$. The frequency of the note heard by an observer on the platform as the train $(1)$ approaches the station and then $(2)$ recedes from the station are respectively (in hertz) (velocity of sound in air $= 320 \,m/s$).

Two sources of sound $S_1$ and $S_2$ are moving towards and away from a stationary observer with the same speed $V$ respectively. The observer detects $3$ beats per second. Find the speed of the source (approximately) in $m/s$. Given: $f_1 = f_2 = 500 \, Hz$,speed of sound in air $= 330 \, m/s$.

$A$ whistle giving out $450 Hz$ approaches a stationary observer at a speed of $33 m/s$. The frequency heard by the observer in $Hz$ is (Take speed of sound $v = 330 m/s$)

$A$ man is standing on a railway platform listening to the whistle of an engine that passes the man at a constant speed without stopping. If the engine passes the man at time $t_0$,how does the frequency $f$ of the whistle as heard by the man change with time?
