$A$ person feels a $2.5\%$ difference in the frequency of a motor-car horn. If the motor-car is moving towards the person and the velocity of sound is $320\, m/s$,then the velocity of the car will be:

  • A
    $8\, m/s$ (approx.)
  • B
    $800\, m/s$
  • C
    $7\, m/s$
  • D
    $6\, m/s$ (approx.)

$A$ $SONAR$ system fixed in a submarine operates at a frequency of $40.0 \; kHz$. An enemy submarine moves towards the $SONAR$ with a speed of $360 \; km/h$. What is the frequency (in $kHz$) of sound reflected by the submarine (in $; kHz$)? Take the speed of sound in water to be $1450 \; m/s$.

$A$ source and an observer move away from each other with a velocity of $10\; m/s$ with respect to the ground. If the observer finds the frequency of sound coming from the source as $1950\; Hz$,then the actual frequency of the source is .... $Hz$ (velocity of sound in air = $340\; m/s$).

$A$ 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 $: 1$)
