$A$ bus is moving with a velocity of $5 \, ms^{-1}$ towards a huge wall. The driver sounds a horn of frequency $165 \, Hz$. If the speed of sound in air is $335 \, ms^{-1}$, the number of beats heard per second by the passengers in the bus will be:

When the listener moves towards a stationary source with velocity $V_1$,the apparent frequency of the emitted note is $F_1$. When the observer moves away from the source with velocity $V_1$,the apparent frequency is $F_2$. If $V$ is the velocity of sound in air and $\frac{F_1}{F_2} = 2$,then find the ratio $\frac{V}{V_1}$.

$A$ 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 $, Hz$)?

$A$ small source of sound vibrating at a frequency $500 Hz$ is rotated along a circle of radius $\frac{100}{\pi} cm$ at a constant angular speed of $5$ revolutions per second. The minimum and maximum frequency of the sound observed by a listener situated in the plane of the circle is (Speed of sound is $332 ms^{-1}$)

Two sources $A$ and $B$ are sounding notes of frequency $660 \, Hz$. $A$ listener moves from $A$ to $B$ with a constant velocity $u$. If the speed of sound is $330 \, m/s$,what must be the value of $u$ so that he hears $8$ beats per second?
