$A$ vehicle with a horn of frequency $n$ is moving with a velocity of $30\, m/s$ in a direction perpendicular to the straight line joining the observer and the vehicle. The observer perceives the sound to have a frequency $n + n_1$. Then (if the sound velocity in air is $300\, m/s$):

  • A
    $n_1 = 10\,n$
  • B
    $n_1 = 0$
  • C
    $n_1 = 0.1\,n$
  • D
    $n_1 = -0.1\,n$

$A$ student holds a tuning fork oscillating at $170 \,Hz$. He walks towards a wall at a constant speed of $2 \,ms^{-1}$. The beat frequency observed by the student between the tuning fork and its echo is (Velocity of sound $=340 \,ms^{-1}$ ) (in $\,Hz$)

An engine sounding a whistle of frequency $1152 \ Hz$ is receding from a stationary observer at $72 \ km/h$. If the velocity of sound in air is $340 \ m/s$,then the frequency of the note heard by the observer is: (in $Hz$)

The observer is moving with velocity $v_0$ towards the stationary source of sound and then after crossing moves away from the source with velocity $v_0$. Assume that the medium through which the sound waves travel is at rest. If $v$ is the velocity of sound and $n$ is the frequency emitted by the source,then the difference between apparent frequencies heard by the observer is:
