Two factories are sounding their sirens at $800 \, Hz$. $A$ man walks from one factory to the other at a speed of $2 \, m/s$. The velocity of sound is $320 \, m/s$. The number of beats heard by the person in one second will be:

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $4$
  • C
    $8$
  • D
    $10$

When the observer moves towards a stationary source with velocity $V_1$, the apparent frequency of the emitted note is $F_1$. When the observer moves away from the source with velocity $V_1$, the apparent frequency is $F_2$. If $V$ is the speed of sound in air and $F_1/F_2 = 2$, then $V/V_1 =$

When the listener moves towards a stationary source with velocity $V_1$,the apparent frequency of the emitted note is $F_1$. When the observer moves away from the source with velocity $V_1$,the apparent frequency is $F_2$. If $V$ is the velocity of sound in air and $\frac{F_1}{F_2} = 2$,then find the ratio $\frac{V}{V_1}$.

With what speed should a sound source move towards an observer so that the observer hears half the original frequency $(v)$?

$(a)$ When source of sound and listener move towards wall.$(i)$ Listener would hear a sound with same frequency as that of source.
$(b)$ When source of sound and listener move away from each other.$(ii)$ Listener would hear a sound with frequency smaller than that of source.
$(iii)$ Frequency of echo would be greater than that of source.

$A$ student holds a tuning fork oscillating at $170 \,Hz$. He walks towards a wall at a constant speed of $2 \,ms^{-1}$. The beat frequency observed by the student between the tuning fork and its echo is (Velocity of sound $=340 \,ms^{-1}$ ) (in $\,Hz$)
