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
    Half the velocity of sound towards the source.
  • B
    Same as velocity of sound away from the source.
  • C
    Twice the velocity of sound towards the source.
  • D
    Same as velocity of sound towards the source.

$A$ train is moving along a semicircular track. The engine is at one end of the semicircular part of the track,while the last carriage is at the other end. The driver blows a whistle of frequency $200 \ Hz$. The velocity of sound is $340 \ m/s$. If the speed of the train is $30 \ m/s$,what is the apparent frequency observed by a passenger in the middle of the train (in $Hz$)?

$A$ bus driving along at $39.6 \,km/h$ is approaching a person who is standing at the bus stop,while honking repeatedly at an interval of $30 \,s$. If the speed of sound is $330 \,ms^{-1}$,at what interval will the person hear the horn?

$A$ person observes two moving trains,$A$ reaching the station and $B$ leaving the station with equal speed of $30\,m/s$. If both trains emit sounds with frequency $300\,Hz$,(Speed of sound : $330\,m/s$) the approximate difference of frequencies heard by the person will be $..........Hz$.

Two cars $X$ and $Y$ are approaching each other with velocities $36 \; km/h$ and $72 \; km/h$ respectively. The frequency of a whistle sound emitted by a passenger in car $X$,heard by the passenger in car $Y$,is $1320 \; Hz$. If the velocity of sound in air is $340 \; m/s$,the actual frequency of the whistle sound produced is ........ $Hz$.

An observer is standing $500 \,m$ away from a vertical hill. Starting between the observer and the hill, a police van sounding a siren of frequency $1000 \,Hz$ moves towards the hill with a uniform speed. If the frequency of the sound heard directly from the siren is $970 \,Hz$, the frequency of the sound heard after reflection from the hill (in $Hz$) is about, (velocity of sound $= 330 \,m/s$):
