$A$ 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
    $31 \,s$
  • B
    $29 \,s$
  • C
    $30 \,s$
  • D
    The interval will depend on the distance of the bus from the passenger

The frequency of a car horn changes from $400\, Hz$ to $500\, Hz$ as the car approaches a vertical wall. If the speed of sound is $330\, m/s$,then the speed of the car is $.....\, km/h$.

When the source of sound and the observer both are moving towards each other,the observer will hear:

$A$ stationary source of sound $A$ is producing sound of frequency $170 \, Hz$. Another source of sound $B$ producing sound of frequency $240 \, Hz$ is moving towards the source $A$ on a straight path with a uniform speed of $20 \, ms^{-1}$. An observer between $A$ and $B$ is moving towards the source $A$ along the straight path $BA$. If the number of beats heard by the observer is zero, the speed of the observer is . . . . . . $ms^{-1}$. (Speed of sound in air $= 340 \, ms^{-1}$).
