$A$ person carrying a whistle emitting a note of $272 \text{ Hz}$ is running towards a reflecting surface with a speed of $18 \text{ km/h}$. The speed of sound in air is $345 \text{ m/s}$. The number of beats heard by him is:

  • A
    $4$
  • B
    $6$
  • C
    $8$

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).

$A$ motorcyclist is approaching a large wall with a velocity of $90\,km/hr$. $A$ car is chasing him with a velocity of $108\,km/hr$. If the car sounds a horn at $30\,Hz,$ the beat frequency heard by the motorcyclist is . . . . . . $Hz$. Take the velocity of sound $= 330\,m/s$.

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?

$A$ car sounding its horn at $480\,Hz$ moves towards a high wall at a speed of $20\,m/s$. If the speed of sound is $340\,m/s,$ the frequency of the reflected sound heard by the passenger sitting in the car will be the nearest to ..... $Hz$.

$S_1$ 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 $\qquad$ $Hz$.
