An observer moves towards a stationary source of sound with a speed $\frac{1}{5}$th that of sound. The frequency of the sound emitted by the source is $f$. The apparent frequency recorded by the observer is

  • A
    $1.2 f$
  • B
    $f$
  • C
    $0.8 f$
  • D
    $2 f$

$A$ submarine $(A)$ travelling at $18\, km/hr$ is being chased along the line of its velocity by another submarine $(B)$ travelling at $27\, km/hr$. $B$ sends a sonar signal of $500\, Hz$ to detect $A$ and receives a reflected sound of frequency $v$. The value of $v$ is close to ... $Hz$ (Speed of sound in water $= 1500\, ms^{-1}$)

Doppler shift in frequency does not depend upon:

$A$ source and an observer move away from each other with the same velocity of $10 \,ms^{-1}$ with respect to the ground. If the observer finds the frequency of sound coming from the source as $1980 \,Hz$, then the actual frequency of the source is (speed of sound in air $= 340 \,ms^{-1}$). (in $\,Hz$)

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 $= 330 \,m/s$.]

$A$ train,standing at the outer signal of a railway station,blows a whistle of frequency $400\; Hz$ in still air.
$(i)$ What is the frequency of the whistle for a platform observer when the train $(a)$ approaches the platform with a speed of $10\; m s^{-1}$,$(b)$ recedes from the platform with a speed of $10\; m s^{-1}$?
$(ii)$ What is the speed of sound in each case? The speed of sound in still air can be taken as $340\; m s^{-1}$.
