An obstacle is moving towards the source with velocity $v$. The sound is reflected from the obstacle. If $c$ is the speed of sound and $\lambda$ is the wavelength,then the wavelength of the reflected wave $(\lambda_{r})$ is

  • A
    $\lambda_{r} = \left(\frac{c-v}{c+v}\right) \lambda$
  • B
    $\lambda_{r} = \left(\frac{c-v}{c}\right) \lambda$
  • C
    $\lambda_{r} = \left(\frac{c+v}{c-v}\right) \lambda$
  • D
    $\lambda_{r} = \left(\frac{c+v}{c}\right) \lambda$

$A$ stationary tuning fork is in resonance with an air column in a pipe. If the tuning fork is moved with a speed of $2 \ m/s$ in front of the open end of the pipe and parallel to it,the length of the pipe should be changed for the resonance to occur with the moving tuning fork. If the speed of sound in air is $320 \ m/s$,the smallest value of the percentage change required in the length of the pipe is. . . . . .

$A$ source,approaching with speed $u$ towards the open end of a stationary pipe of length $L$,is emitting a sound of frequency $f_s$. The farther end of the pipe is closed. The speed of sound in air is $v$ and $f_0$ is the fundamental frequency of the pipe. For which of the following combination$(s)$ of $u$ and $f_s$,will the sound reaching the pipe lead to a resonance?
$(A)$ $u=0.8 v$ and $f_s=f_0$
$(B)$ $u=0.8 v$ and $f_s=2 f_0$
$(C)$ $u=0.8 v$ and $f_s=0.5 f_0$
$(D)$ $u=0.5 v$ and $f_s=1.5 f_0$

$A$ stationary source of sound $A$ is producing sound of frequency $170 \, Hz$. Another source of sound $B$ producing sound of frequency $240 \, Hz$ is moving towards the source $A$ on a straight path with a uniform speed of $20 \, ms^{-1}$. An observer between $A$ and $B$ is moving towards the source $A$ along the straight path $BA$. If the number of beats heard by the observer is zero, the speed of the observer is . . . . . . $ms^{-1}$. (Speed of sound in air $= 340 \, ms^{-1}$).

Two vehicles,each moving with speed $u$ on the same horizontal straight road,are approaching each other. Wind blows along the road with velocity $w$. One of these vehicles blows a whistle of frequency $f_1$. An observer in the other vehicle hears the frequency of the whistle to be $f_2$. The speed of sound in still air is $V$. The correct statement$(s)$ is (are) :
$(A)$ If the wind blows from the observer to the source,$f_2 > f_1$.
$(B)$ If the wind blows from the source to the observer,$f_2 > f_1$.
$(C)$ If the wind blows from the observer to the source,$f_2 < f_1$.
$(D)$ If the wind blows from the source to the observer,$f_2 < f_1$.

$A$ car blowing a horn of frequency $350\, Hz$ is moving towards a wall with a speed of $5\, m/s$. The beat frequency heard by a person standing between the car and the wall is ..... $Hz$ (speed of sound in air $= 350\, m/s$).
