The frequency changes by $10\%$ as a sound source approaches a stationary observer with constant speed $v_s$. What would be the percentage change in frequency as the source recedes from the observer with the same speed? (Given that $v_s < v$,where $v$ is the speed of sound in air)

$A$ train whistling at a constant frequency $n_0$ is moving towards a station at a constant speed $v$. The train passes a stationary observer on the station. The frequency $n$ of the sound as heard by the observer is plotted as a function of time $t$. Identify the expected curve.

$A$ train moves towards a stationary observer with a speed of $34 \ m/s$. The train sounds a whistle and its frequency registered by the observer is $f_1$. If the train's speed 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:

An observer moves towards a stationary source of sound with a velocity equal to one-fifth of the velocity of sound. The percentage change in the frequency will be $\dots \;$%.

$A$ source of sound of frequency $640 \,Hz$ is moving at a velocity of $\frac{100}{3} \,m/s$ along a road, and is at an instant $30 \,m$ away from a point $A$ on the road. $A$ person standing at $O$, $40 \,m$ away from the road, hears sound of apparent frequency $v^{\prime}$. The value of $v^{\prime}$ is (velocity of sound $= 340 \,m/s$): (in $\,Hz$)
