Two engines pass each other moving in opposite directions with a uniform speed of $30\,m/s$. One of them is blowing a whistle of frequency $540\,Hz$. Calculate the frequency heard by the driver of the second engine before they pass each other. (Speed of sound is $330\,m/s$).

  • A
    $450$
  • B
    $540$
  • C

$A$ 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 $340 \,m/s$).

$A$ whistle $S$ of frequency $f$ revolves in a circle of radius $R$ at a constant speed $v$. What is the ratio of maximum and minimum frequency detected by a detector $D$ at rest at a distance $2R$ from the center of the circle as shown in the figure?

$A$ source of sound $S$ emitting waves of frequency $100 \, Hz$ and an observer $O$ are located at some distance from each other. The source is moving with a speed of $19.4 \, m s^{-1}$ at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the source-observer line as shown in the figure. The observer is at rest. The apparent frequency observed by the observer is .... $Hz$ (velocity of sound in air $330 \, m s^{-1}$).

$A$ train blowing the whistle moves with a constant velocity $V$ away from an observer standing on the platform. The ratio of the natural frequency of the whistle $n$ to the apparent frequency is $1.2: 1$. If the train is at rest and the observer moves away from it at the same velocity $V$,the ratio of $n$ to the apparent frequency is (in $: 1$)
