$A$ train blowing the whistle moves with a constant velocity $V$ away from an observer standing on the platform. The ratio of the natural frequency of the whistle $n$ to the apparent frequency is $1.2: 1$. If the train is at rest and the observer moves away from it at the same velocity $V$,the ratio of $n$ to the apparent frequency is (in $: 1$)

  • A
    $0.51$
  • B
    $1.25$
  • C
    $2.05$
  • D
    $1.52$

Doppler shift in frequency does not depend upon:

$A$ 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 $v = 340\, m/s$).

When a car is approaching the observer,the frequency of the horn is $100 \, Hz$. After passing the observer,it is $50 \, Hz$. If the observer moves with the car,the frequency will be $\frac{x}{3} \, Hz$ where $x = .....$

When the source of sound moves away from a stationary listener,we obtain $f_{L} < f_{S}$. Why?

$A$ sounding body of negligible dimension emitting a frequency of $150\, Hz$ is dropped from a height. During its fall under gravity,it passes near a balloon moving up with a constant velocity of $2\, m/s$ one second after it started to fall. The difference in the frequency observed by the man in the balloon just before and just after crossing the body will be: (Given: velocity of sound $= 300\, m/s$; $g = 10\, m/s^2$) (in $, Hz$)
