    $v$
  • B

$A$ source $S$ emitting sound of frequency $288 \,Hz$ is fixed on block $B$ which is attached to the free end of a spring $S_2$, and an observer $O$ is on block $A$ which is attached to the free end of spring $S_1$ as shown in the figure. The blocks $A$ and $B$ are simultaneously displaced towards each other through a distance of $0.5 \,m$ and then left to oscillate. If the angular velocity of each block is $40 \,rad/s$, then the maximum frequency observed by the observer is (speed of sound in air is $340 \,m/s$): (in $\,Hz$)

$A$ source and an observer move away from each other with the same velocity of $10 \,ms^{-1}$ with respect to the ground. If the observer finds the frequency of sound coming from the source as $1980 \,Hz$, then the actual frequency of the source is (speed of sound in air $= 340 \,ms^{-1}$). (in $\,Hz$)

$A$ source and a listener are both moving towards each other with a speed of $v/10$,where $v$ is the speed of sound. If the frequency of the note emitted by the source is $f$,the frequency heard by the listener would be nearly:

$A$ 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 $335 \ m/s$):

$A$ source of sound is moving with a constant velocity of $20\, m/s$ emitting a note of frequency $1000\, Hz.$ The ratio of frequencies observed by a stationary observer while the source is approaching him and after it crosses him will be (Speed of sound $v = 340\, m/s$).
