When a source of sound crosses a stationary observer,the change in apparent frequency of sound observed by the observer,when $V_s << V$,will be -

  • A
    $\Delta n = \frac{2 n V_s}{V}$
  • B
    $\Delta n = \frac{2 n V}{V_s}$
  • C
    $\Delta n = 2 n V_s V$
  • D
    $\Delta n = \frac{2 n V_0}{V}$

$A$ small source of sound moves on a circle as shown in the figure and an observer is standing at $O.$ Let $n_1, n_2$ and $n_3$ be the frequencies heard when the source is at $A, B$ and $C$ respectively. Then

When the source of sound moves away from a stationary listener,we obtain $f_{L} < f_{S}$. Why?

An engine moving away from a vertical cliff blows a horn at a frequency $f$. Its speed is $0.5 \%$ of the speed of sound in air. The frequency of the reflected sound received at the engine is ............ $f$.

$A$ 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 $= 340 \, ms^{-1}$).

$A$ source is moving towards an observer with a speed of $20 \ m/s$ and having a frequency of $240 \ Hz$. The observer is now moving towards the source with a speed of $20 \ m/s$. If the velocity of sound is $340 \ m/s$,the apparent frequency heard by the observer is ... $Hz$.
