An engine is moving with uniform speed along a circular track emitting a sound of frequency $400\, Hz$ as shown in the figure. The speed of the engine is $30\, m/s$ and the speed of sound is $330\, m/s$. An observer is standing inside the track. The maximum frequency observed by the observer is

  • A
    Less than $440\, Hz$
  • B
    Greater than $440\, Hz$
  • C
    Equal to $440\, Hz$
  • D
    Equal to $400\, Hz$

$A$ railway engine whistling at a constant frequency moves with a constant speed. It goes past a stationary observer standing beside the railway track. The frequency $(n)$ of the sound heard by the observer is plotted against time $(t).$ Which of the following best represents the resulting curve?

$A$ source $S$ emitting sound of frequency $288 \,Hz$ is fixed on block $B$ which is attached to the free end of a spring $S_2$, and an observer $O$ is on block $A$ which is attached to the free end of spring $S_1$ as shown in the figure.
