With what velocity should an observer approach a stationary sound source,so that the apparent frequency of sound appears double the actual frequency? (Let $v$ be the velocity of sound).

  • A
    $v/2$
  • B
    $3v$
  • C
    $2v$
  • D

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 $\frac{V}{V_1}$.

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:

The driver of a car travelling with a speed $V_1 \ m/s$ towards a wall sounds a siren of frequency $n \ Hz$. If the velocity of sound in air is $V \ m/s$,then the frequency of sound reflected from the wall and as heard by the driver,in $Hz$,is

$A$ source of sound emits waves with frequency $f \, Hz$ and speed $V \, m/s$. Two observers move away from this source in opposite directions,each with a speed $0.2V$ relative to the source. The ratio of frequencies heard by the two observers will be
