$A$ train moves towards a stationary observer with speed $34\, m/s$. The train sounds a whistle and its frequency registered by the observer is $f_1$. If the speed of the train is reduced to $17\, m/s$,the frequency registered is $f_2$. If the speed of sound is $340\, m/s$,then the ratio $f_1/f_2$ is

  • A
    $18/17$
  • B
    $19/18$
  • C
    $20/19$
  • D
    $21/20$

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:

$A$ source of sound $S$ is moving with a velocity of $50\,m/s$ towards a stationary observer. The observer measures the frequency of the sound as $1000\,Hz$. What will be the apparent frequency of the source when it is moving away from the observer after crossing him (in $,Hz$)? (Take the velocity of sound in air as $350\,m/s$)

Obtain the equation of frequency observed by a moving observer and a stationary source.

Two men are walking along a horizontal straight line in the same direction. The man in front walks at a speed of $1.0 \,m \,s^{-1}$ and the man behind walks at a speed of $2.0 \,m \,s^{-1}$. $A$ third man is standing at a height of $12 \,m$ above the same horizontal line such that all three men are in a vertical plane. The two walking men are blowing identical whistles which emit a sound of frequency $1430 \,Hz$. The speed of sound in air is $330 \,m \,s^{-1}$. At the instant when the moving men are $10 \,m$ apart,the stationary man is equidistant from them. The frequency of beats in $Hz$ heard by the stationary man at this instant is:

Consider the Doppler effect in two cases. In the first case,an observer moves towards a stationary source of sound with a speed of $50 \,m/s$. In the second case,the observer is at rest and the source moves towards the observer with the same speed of $50 \,m/s$. Then the frequency heard by the observer will be [velocity of sound in air $= 330 \,m/s$.]
