$S_1$ and $S_2$ are two identical sound sources of frequency $656 \ Hz$. The source $S_1$ is located at $O$ and $S_2$ moves anti-clockwise with a uniform speed $4 \sqrt{2} \ ms^{-1}$ on a circular path around $O$,as shown in the figure. There are three points $P, Q$ and $R$ on this path such that $P$ and $R$ are diametrically opposite while $Q$ is equidistant from them. $A$ sound detector is placed at point $P$. The source $S_1$ can move along direction $OP$.
[Given: The speed of sound in air is $324 \ ms^{-1}$]
$(1)$ When only $S_2$ is emitting sound and it is at $Q$,the frequency of sound measured by the detector in $Hz$ is. . . . . .
$(2)$ Consider both sources emitting sound. When $S_2$ is at $R$ and $S_1$ approaches the detector with a speed $4 \ ms^{-1}$,the beat frequency measured by the detector is $\qquad$ $Hz$.

$A$ railway engine whistling at a constant frequency moves with a constant speed. It goes past a stationary observer standing beside the railway track. The frequency $(n)$ of the sound heard by the observer is plotted against time $(t).$ Which of the following best represents the resulting curve?

$A$ source $S$ emitting sound of frequency $288 \,Hz$ is fixed on block $B$ which is attached to the free end of a spring $S_2$, and an observer $O$ is on block $A$ which is attached to the free end of spring $S_1$ as shown in the figure. The blocks $A$ and $B$ are simultaneously displaced towards each other through a distance of $0.5 \,m$ and then left to oscillate. If the angular velocity of each block is $40 \,rad/s$, then the maximum frequency observed by the observer is (speed of sound in air is $340 \,m/s$): (in $\,Hz$)
