An observer is moving towards a stationary source of sound. In this case:

  • A
    Apparent frequency will be less than the real frequency
  • B
    Apparent frequency will be greater than the real frequency
  • C
    Apparent frequency will be equal to the real frequency
  • D
    Only the quality of sound will change

$A$ source and a detector move away from each other in the absence of wind with a speed of $20 \, m/s$ with respect to the ground. If the detector detects a frequency of $1800 \, Hz$ of the sound coming from the source,then the original frequency of the source,considering the speed of sound in air to be $340 \, m/s$,will be (in $Hz$):

The engine of a train moving with speed $10\,ms^{-1}$ towards a platform sounds a whistle at frequency $400\,Hz$. The frequency heard by a passenger inside the train is $........\,Hz$ (neglect air speed. Speed of sound in air $330\,ms^{-1}$). (in $,Hz$)
