Two trains move towards each other with the same speed. The speed of sound is $340 \; m/s$. If the pitch of the whistle of one train heard by an observer on the other train changes by a factor of $9/8$,then the speed of each train is ........... $m/s$.

$A$ source of sound is travelling towards a stationary observer. The frequency of sound heard by the observer is three times the original frequency. If the velocity of sound is $v \ m/s$,the speed of the source will be:

The frequency changes by $10 \%$ as a sound source approaches a stationary observer with constant speed $V_s$. What would be the percentage change in the frequency as the source recedes from the observer with the same speed $\left(V_s < V\right)$ (in $.5$)?

If a source emitting waves of frequency $f$ moves towards an observer with a velocity $v/4$ and the observer moves away from the source with a velocity $v/6$,the apparent frequency as heard by the observer will be ($v =$ velocity of sound).

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 $= 330 \,m/s$):
