$A$ source of sound is travelling towards a stationary observer. The frequency of sound heard by the observer is three times the original frequency. If the velocity of sound is $v \ m/s$,the speed of the source will be:

  • A
    $\frac{2}{3}v$
  • B
    $v$
  • C
    $\frac{3}{2}v$
  • D
    $3v$

If the source and the observer are both relatively at rest and the speed of sound is increased,then the frequency heard by the observer will:

$A$ source and an observer are moving towards each other with a speed equal to $\frac{v}{2}$,where $v$ is the speed of sound. The source is emitting sound of frequency $n$. The frequency heard by the observer will be

The difference between the apparent frequency of a source of sound as perceived by an observer during its approach and recession is $2\%$ of the natural frequency of the source. If the velocity of sound in air is $300 \, m/s$,the velocity of the source is ... $m/s$ (Given that velocity of source < velocity of sound).

$A$ source of sound $S$ emitting waves of frequency $100 \, Hz$ and an observer $O$ are located at some distance from each other. The source is moving with a speed of $19.4 \, m s^{-1}$ at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the source-observer line as shown in the figure. The observer is at rest. The apparent frequency observed by the observer is .... $Hz$ (velocity of sound in air $330 \, m s^{-1}$).

When the observer 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 $F_{1} / F_{2} = 2$,then $V / V_{1}$ is equal to:
