$A$ small source of sound moves on a circle as shown in the figure and an observer is standing at $O.$ Let $n_1, n_2$ and $n_3$ be the frequencies heard when the source is at $A, B$ and $C$ respectively. Then

  • A
    $n_1 > n_2 > n_3$
  • B
    $n_2 > n_3 > n_1$
  • C
    $n_1 = n_2 > n_3$
  • D
    $n_2 > n_1 > n_3$

When the source of sound moves away from a stationary listener,we obtain $f_{L} < f_{S}$. Why?

An observer is approaching with a speed $v$ towards a stationary source emitting sound waves of wavelength $\lambda_0$. The wavelength shift detected by the observer is (Take $c$ as the speed of sound).

Two cars $A$ and $B$ are moving away from each other in opposite directions. Both cars are moving with a speed of $20 \, ms^{-1}$ with respect to the ground. If an observer in car $A$ detects a frequency of $2000 \, Hz$ from the sound source in car $B$,what is the natural frequency of the sound source of car $B$ (in $Hz$)? (Speed of sound in air $= 340 \, ms^{-1}$)

$A$ source of sound emits sound waves at frequency $f_0$. It is moving towards an observer with fixed speed $v_s$ ($v_s < v$,where $v$ is the speed of sound in air). If the observer were to move towards the source with speed $v_0$,the variation of the frequency $f$ heard by the observer as $v_0$ is changed is given by one of the following two graphs ($A$ and $B$). The variation of $f$ with $v_0$ is given correctly by:

$A$ car $P$ travelling at $20\,ms^{-1}$ sounds its horn at a frequency of $400\,Hz$. Another car $Q$ is travelling behind the first car in the same direction with a velocity $40\,ms^{-1}$. The frequency heard by the passenger of the car $Q$ is approximately $.......\,Hz$. [Take,velocity of sound $= 360\,ms^{-1}$]
