An observer is standing $500 \,m$ away from a vertical hill. Starting between the observer and the hill, a police van sounding a siren of frequency $1000 \,Hz$ moves towards the hill with a uniform speed. If the frequency of the sound heard directly from the siren is $970 \,Hz$, the frequency of the sound heard after reflection from the hill (in $Hz$) is about, (velocity of sound $= 330 \,m/s$):

  • A
    $1042$
  • B
    $1032$
  • C
    $1022$
  • D
    $1012$

At what speed should a source of sound move so that the observer finds the apparent frequency equal to half the original frequency?

$A$ source of sound emitting a note of frequency $200 Hz$ moves towards an observer with a velocity $v$ equal to the velocity of sound. If the observer also moves away from the source with the same velocity $v$,the apparent frequency heard by the observer is .... $Hz$

$A$ stationary source is emitting sound at a fixed frequency $f_0$,which is reflected by two cars approaching the source. The difference between the frequencies of sound reflected from the cars is $1.2 \%$ of $f_0$. What is the difference in the speeds of the cars (in $km/h$) to the nearest integer? The cars are moving at constant speeds much smaller than the speed of sound,which is $330 \ m/s$.

$A$ locomotive approaching a crossing at a speed of $20 \, m/s$ sounds a whistle of frequency $640 \, Hz$ when it is $1 \, km$ from the crossing. There is no wind and the speed of sound in air is $330 \, m/s$. What frequency is heard by an observer located $\sqrt{3} \, km$ away from the crossing on a straight road at a right angle to the locomotive's path (in $, Hz$)?

An engine is moving towards a wall with a velocity $50\, ms^{-1}$ and emits a note of $1.2\, kHz$. The speed of sound in air is $350\, ms^{-1}$. The frequency of the note after reflection from the wall as heard by the driver of the engine is ..... $kHz$.
