Two cars $A$ and $B$ are moving away from each other in opposite directions. Both cars are moving with a speed of $20 \, ms^{-1}$ with respect to the ground. If an observer in car $A$ detects a frequency of $2000 \, Hz$ from the sound source in car $B$,what is the natural frequency of the sound source of car $B$ (in $Hz$)? (Speed of sound in air $= 340 \, ms^{-1}$)

  • A
    $2250$
  • B
    $2060$
  • C
    $2150$
  • D
    $2300$

$A$ reflector is moving with $20 \,m/s$ towards a stationary source of sound. If the source is producing sound waves of $160 \,Hz$, then the wavelength of the reflected wave is (speed of sound in air is $340 \,m/s$).

$A$ source and a listener are both moving towards each other with a speed of $v/10$,where $v$ is the speed of sound. If the frequency of the note emitted by the source is $f$,the frequency heard by the listener would be nearly:

$A$ 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 $330 \ m/s$.

With what speed should a sound source move towards an observer so that the observer hears half the original frequency $(v)$?

Consider two tuning forks with natural frequency $250 \,Hz$. One is moving away and another is moving towards a stationary observer at the same speed. If the observer hears beats of frequency $5 \,Hz$, then the speed of the tuning fork is: (Given, speed of sound wave is $350 \,m/s$.) (in $\,m/s$)
