The driver of a car travelling with a speed $V_1 \ m/s$ towards a wall sounds a siren of frequency $n \ Hz$. If the velocity of sound in air is $V \ m/s$,then the frequency of the sound reflected from the wall and as heard by the driver in $Hz$ is

  • A
    $\left(\frac{V_1}{V-V_1}\right) n$
  • B
    $\left(\frac{V_1-V}{V+V_1}\right) n$
  • C
    $\left(\frac{V+V_1}{V-V_1}\right) n$
  • D
    $\left(\frac{V-V_1}{V+V_1}\right) n$

$A$ train is moving towards a stationary observer with speed $34 \text{ m/s}$. $A$ train sounds a whistle of frequency $450 \text{ Hz}$. If the speed of sound is $340 \text{ m/s}$, the frequency heard by the observer in Hz is

The source producing sound and an observer are both moving along the direction of propagation of sound waves. If the respective velocities of sound,source,and an observer are $v$,$v_s$,and $v_o$,then the apparent frequency heard by the observer will be ($n =$ frequency of sound).
