The pitch of the whistle of an engine appears to drop by $20 \%$ of its original value when it passes a stationary observer. If the speed of sound in air is $350 \ m/s$,then the speed of the engine in $m/s$ is:

  • A
    $1050$
  • B
    $175$
  • C
    $520.5$
  • D
    $87.5$

Two sources $A$ and $B$ are sending notes of frequency $680 \ Hz$. $A$ listener moves from $A$ towards $B$ with a constant velocity $u$. If the speed of sound in air is $340 \ ms^{-1}$, what must be the value of $u$ so that he hears $10$ beats per second (in $ms^{-1}$)?

$Assertion :$ The Doppler formula for sound waves is symmetric with respect to the speed of the source and the speed of the observer.
$Reason :$ The motion of a source with respect to a stationary observer is not equivalent to the motion of an observer with respect to a stationary source.

$A$ source with a frequency of $90 \, \text{vibrations/sec}$ moves towards a stationary observer with a velocity of $1/10 \, V$, where $V$ is the speed of sound. What frequency will the observer hear in $\text{vibrations/sec}$?

An observer and a source emitting sound of frequency $120 \,Hz$ are on the $X$-axis. The observer is stationary while the source of sound is in motion given by the equation $x=3 \sin \omega t$ (where $x$ is in metres and $t$ is in seconds). If the difference between the maximum and minimum frequencies of the sound observed by the observer is $22 \,Hz$,then the value of $\omega$ is (speed of sound in air $=330 \,ms^{-1}$):

The speed of sound in air at a given temperature is $350 \, m/s$. An engine blows a whistle at a frequency of $1200 \, cps$. It is approaching the observer with a velocity of $50 \, m/s$. The apparent frequency in $cps$ heard by the observer will be:
