$A$ speeding motorcyclist sees a traffic jam ahead. He slows down to $36\, km\, h^{-1}$. He finds that the traffic has eased and a car moving ahead of him at $18\, km\, h^{-1}$ is honking at a frequency of $1392\, Hz$. If the speed of sound is $343\, m s^{-1}$,the frequency of the honk as heard by him will be .... $Hz$.

  • A
    $1332$
  • B
    $1372$
  • C
    $1412$
  • D

The driver of a car travelling with a speed $V_1 \ m/s$ towards a wall sounds a siren of frequency $n \ Hz$. If the velocity of sound in air is $V \ m/s$,then the frequency of the sound reflected from the wall and as heard by the driver in $Hz$ is

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 $\%$)

$A$ sound source $S$ is moving along a straight track with speed $v,$ and is emitting sound of frequency $v_{0}.$ An observer is standing at a finite distance,at the point $O,$ from the track. The time variation of frequency heard by the observer is best represented by (where $t_{0}$ represents the instant when the distance between the source and observer is minimum).

The source producing sound and an observer are both moving along the direction of propagation of sound waves. If the respective velocities of sound,source,and an observer are $v$,$v_s$,and $v_o$,then the apparent frequency heard by the observer will be ($n =$ frequency of sound).

$A$ 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:
