An observer moves towards a stationary source of sound with a velocity of one-fifth of the velocity of sound. The percentage increase in the apparent frequency is (in $\%$)

An observer is riding on a bicycle and moving towards a hill at $18\,km\,h^{-1}$. He hears a sound from a source at some distance behind him directly as well as after its reflection from the hill. If the original frequency of the sound as emitted by the source is $640\,Hz$ and the velocity of sound in air is $320\,m/s$,the beat frequency between the two sounds heard by the observer will be $...Hz$.

$A$ siren emitting sound of frequency $500 \; Hz$ is going away from a static listener with a speed of $50 \; m/s$. The frequency of sound heard by the listener is .... $Hz$. (Take speed of sound $v = 330 \; m/s$)

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 $\frac{V}{V_1}$.

$A$ source of sound is travelling at $\frac{100}{3} \, m/s$ along a road,towards a point $A$. When the source is $3 \, m$ away from $A$,a person is standing at a point $O$ on a road perpendicular to the path of the source. The distance of $O$ from $A$ at that time is $4 \, m$. If the original frequency is $640 \, Hz$,then the apparent frequency heard by the person is ...... $Hz$ (speed of sound is $340 \, m/s$).
