$A$ passenger is sitting in a train which is moving fast. The engine of the train blows a whistle of frequency $n$. If the apparent frequency of sound heard by the passenger is $f$, then:

  • A
    $f=n$
  • B
    $f > n$
  • C
    $f < n$
  • D
    $f \leq n$

Two men are walking along a horizontal straight line in the same direction. The man in front walks at a speed $1.0 \ m \ s^{-1}$ and the man behind walks at a speed $2.0 \ m \ s^{-1}$. $A$ third man is standing at a height $12 \ m$ above the same horizontal line such that all three men are in a vertical plane. The two walking men are blowing identical whistles which emit a sound of frequency $1430 \ Hz$. The speed of sound in air is $330 \ m \ s^{-1}$. At the instant when the moving men are $10 \ m$ apart,the stationary man is equidistant from them. The frequency of beats in $Hz$ heard by the stationary man at this instant is:

$A$ small source of sound moves on a circle as shown in the figure and an observer is standing at $O.$ Let $n_1, n_2$ and $n_3$ be the frequencies heard when the source is at $A, B$ and $C$ respectively. Then

Two sources of sound $S_1$ and $S_2$ are moving towards and away from a stationary observer with the same speed $V$ respectively. The observer detects $3$ beats per second. Find the speed of the source (approximately) in $m/s$. Given: $f_1 = f_2 = 500 \, Hz$,speed of sound in air $= 330 \, m/s$.

$A$ car is moving with a speed of $72 \text{ km/h}$ towards a roadside source that emits sound at a frequency of $850 \text{ Hz}$. The car driver listens to the sound while approaching the source and again while moving away from the source after crossing it. If the velocity of sound is $340 \text{ m/s}$, the difference of the two frequencies the driver hears is: (in $\text{ Hz}$)

An engine is moving on a circular path of radius $200 \,m$ with a speed of $15 \,m/s$. What will be the frequency heard by an observer who is at rest at the centre of the circular path,when the engine blows the whistle with a frequency of $250 \,Hz$?
