$A$ train approaching a railway platform with a speed of $20 \ ms^{-1}$ starts blowing the whistle. The speed of sound in air is $340 \ ms^{-1}$. If the frequency of the emitted sound from the whistle is $640 \ Hz$,the frequency of sound to a person standing on the platform will appear to be: (in $Hz$)

  • A
    $600$
  • B
    $640$
  • C
    $680$
  • D
    $720$

$A$ police van,moving at $22 \, m/s$,chases a motorcyclist. The policeman sounds a horn at $176 \, Hz$,while both of them move towards a stationary siren of frequency $165 \, Hz$ as shown in the figure. If the motorcyclist does not observe any beats,his speed must be .... $m/s$ (take the speed of sound $= 330 \, m/s$).

Which of the following statements is false?

$A$ stationary source is emitting sound at a fixed frequency $f_0$,which is reflected by two cars approaching the source. The difference between the frequencies of sound reflected from the cars is $1.2 \%$ of $f_0$. What is the difference in the speeds of the cars (in $km/h$) to the nearest integer? The cars are moving at constant speeds much smaller than the speed of sound,which is $330 \ m/s$.
