Two sources of sound of same frequency are placed at a distance of $100\,m$ from each other. An observer moving in between them hears $4$ beats per second. If the distance between the sound sources is increased to $400\,m$,then the number of beats heard by him will be:

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $4$
  • C
    $8$
  • D
    $16$

$A$ car travelling at a speed of $54 \ km/h$ towards a wall sounds a horn of frequency $400 \ Hz$. The difference in the frequencies of two sounds, one received directly from the car and the other reflected from the wall, noticed by a person standing between the car and the wall is (speed of sound in air is $335 \ m/s$):

$A$ police van,moving at $22 \, m/s$,chases a motorcyclist. The policeman sounds a horn at $176 \, Hz$,while both of them move towards a stationary siren of frequency $165 \, Hz$ as shown in the figure. If the motorcyclist does not observe any beats,his speed must be .... $m/s$ (take the speed of sound $= 330 \, m/s$).

$A$ man sitting in a moving train hears the whistle of the engine. The frequency of the whistle is $600 \ Hz$.

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)
