Two trains are moving towards each other at speeds of $20 \, m/s$ and $15 \, m/s$ relative to the ground. The first train sounds a whistle of frequency $600 \, Hz$. The frequency of the whistle heard by a passenger in the second train before the trains meet is ...... $Hz$ (the speed of sound in air is $340 \, m/s$).

  • A
    $600$
  • B
    $585$

Two sirens situated one kilometer apart are producing sound of frequency $330 \ Hz$. An observer starts moving from one siren to the other with a speed of $2 \ m/s$. If the speed of sound is $330 \ m/s$,what will be the beat frequency heard by the observer?

An engine is moving with uniform speed along a circular track emitting a sound of frequency $400\, Hz$ as shown in the figure. The speed of the engine is $30\, m/s$ and the speed of sound is $330\, m/s$. An observer is standing inside the track. The maximum frequency observed by the observer is

With what velocity an observer should move relative to a stationary source so that a sound of double the frequency of the source is heard by the observer?

$A$ source $(S)$ of sound has a frequency of $240 \ Hz$. When the observer $(O)$ and the source move towards each other at a speed $v$ with respect to the ground (as shown in Case $1$ in the figure),the observer measures the frequency of the sound to be $288 \ Hz$. However,when the observer and the source move away from each other at the same speed $v$ with respect to the ground (as shown in Case $2$ in the figure),the observer measures the frequency of the sound to be $n \ Hz$. The value of $n$ is:

$A$ train blowing a whistle of frequency $320\,Hz$ approaches an observer standing on the platform at a speed of $66\,m/s$. The frequency observed by the observer will be (given speed of sound $= 330\,m/s$) $.............Hz$.
