$A$ source of sound emits a sound wave of frequency '$f$' and moves towards an observer with a velocity $\frac{V}{3}$,where $V$ is the velocity of sound. If the observer moves away from the source with a velocity $\frac{V}{5}$,the apparent frequency heard by him will be:

  • A
    $\frac{15}{8} f$
  • B
    $\frac{8}{15} f$
  • C
    $\frac{6}{5} f$
  • D
    $\frac{15}{18} f$

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?

The difference between the apparent frequency of a source of sound as perceived by an observer during its approach and recession is $2\%$ of the natural frequency of the source. If the velocity of sound in air is $300 \, m/s$,the velocity of the source is ... $m/s$ (Given that velocity of source < velocity of sound).

$A$ source emitting sound of frequency $288 \,Hz$ is tied to a string of $100 \,cm$ length and rotated with an angular velocity of $20 \,rad/s$ in the horizontal plane. The range of frequencies heard by an observer standing at a distance of $5 \,m$ from the source is (in $Hz$) (Speed of sound in air $= 340 \,m/s$)

Two factories are sounding their sirens at $800 \, Hz$. $A$ man walks from one factory to the other at a speed of $2 \, m/s$. The velocity of sound is $320 \, m/s$. The number of beats heard by the person in one second will be:

$A$ source with a frequency of $500 \,Hz$ moves towards a stationary observer with a velocity of $30 \,m/s$. What frequency (in $Hz$) will the observer hear? (The speed of sound in air is $330 \,m/s$.)
