Two cars are approaching each other at an equal speed of $7.2\, km/hr$. When they see each other,both blow horns having a frequency of $676\, Hz$. The beat frequency heard by each driver will be $.....\, Hz$. [Velocity of sound in air is $340\, m/s$.]

$A$ boy standing on a platform observes the frequency of a train horn as it passes by. The change in the frequency noticed as the train approaches and recedes him with a velocity of $108 \text{ km/h}$ is (speed of sound in air $= 330 \text{ m/s}$) (in $\%$)

$A$ railway engine whistling at a constant frequency moves with a constant speed. It goes past a stationary observer standing beside the railway track. The frequency $(n)$ of the sound heard by the observer is plotted against time $(t).$ Which of the following best represents the resulting curve?

$A$ stationary observer receives sound from two identical tuning forks, one of which approaches and the other one recedes with the same speed $v$ (much less than the speed of sound). The observer hears $2 \; \text{beats/sec}$. The oscillation frequency of each tuning fork is $\nu_{0} = 1400 \; \text{Hz}$ and the velocity of sound in air is $c = 350 \; \text{m/s}$. The speed of each tuning fork is close to:

The pitch of the whistle of an engine appears to drop by $20 \%$ of its original value when it passes a stationary observer. If the speed of sound in air is $350 \ m/s$,then the speed of the engine in $m/s$ is:
