Two cars $X$ and $Y$ are approaching each other with velocities $36 \; km/h$ and $72 \; km/h$ respectively. The frequency of a whistle sound emitted by a passenger in car $X$,heard by the passenger in car $Y$,is $1320 \; Hz$. If the velocity of sound in air is $340 \; m/s$,the actual frequency of the whistle sound produced is ........ $Hz$.

The driver of a bus approaching a big wall notices that the frequency of his bus's horn changes from $420\, Hz$ to $490\, Hz$,when he hears it after it gets reflected from the wall. Find the speed of the bus (in $kmh^{-1}$) if the speed of sound is $330\, ms^{-1}$.

$A$ car $P$ travelling at $20\,ms^{-1}$ sounds its horn at a frequency of $400\,Hz$. Another car $Q$ is travelling behind the first car in the same direction with a velocity $40\,ms^{-1}$. The frequency heard by the passenger of the car $Q$ is approximately $.......\,Hz$. [Take,velocity of sound $= 360\,ms^{-1}$]

$A$ vehicle sounding a whistle of frequency $256 \,Hz$ is moving on a straight road towards a hill with a velocity of $10 \,ms^{-1}$. The number of beats per second observed by a person travelling in the vehicle is (velocity of sound $= 330 \,ms^{-1}$).

The pitch of a whistle of an engine appears to drop by $30 \%$ 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:

$A$ source of sound is moving with a constant velocity of $30 \,m/s$ emitting a note of frequency $256 \,Hz$. The ratio of frequencies observed by a stationary observer while the source is approaching him and after it crosses him is [speed of sound in air $= 330 \,m/s$].
