When both source and listener are approaching each other,the observed frequency of sound is given by (where $V$ is the speed of sound,$V_L$ and $V_S$ are the velocities of the listener and source respectively,and $n_0$ is the radiated frequency):

  • A
    $n=n_0\left[\frac{V+V_{L}}{V-V_{s}}\right]$
  • B
    $n=n_0\left[\frac{V-V_{L}}{V+V_{s}}\right]$
  • C
    $n=n_0\left[\frac{V-V_{L}}{V-V_{s}}\right]$
  • D
    $n=n_0\left[\frac{V+V_{L}}{V+V_{s}}\right]$

The pitch of a whistle of an engine appears to drop by $30 \%$ of its original value when it passes a stationary observer. If the speed of sound in air is $350 \ m/s$,then the speed of the engine in $m/s$ is:

The driver of a car travelling with speed $30 \, m/s$ towards a hill sounds a horn of frequency $600 \, Hz$. If the velocity of sound in air is $330 \, m/s$,the frequency of reflected sound as heard by the driver is .... $Hz$.

$A$ vehicle with a horn of frequency $n$ is moving with a velocity of $30\, m/s$ in a direction perpendicular to the straight line joining the observer and the vehicle. The observer perceives the sound to have a frequency $n + n_1$. Then (if the sound velocity in air is $300\, m/s$):

At what speed should a source of sound move so that the observer finds the apparent frequency equal to half the original frequency?

$A$ car sounding a horn of frequency $1000 \text{ Hz}$ passes an observer. The ratio of frequencies noted by the observer before and after the car passes is $11:9$. If the speed of sound is $V$,what is the speed of the car?
