  • A
    The listener is moving towards the source
  • B
    The source is moving towards the listener
  • C
    The listener is moving away from the source

$A$ car is moving with a speed of $72 \text{ km/h}$ towards a roadside source that emits sound at a frequency of $850 \text{ Hz}$. The car driver listens to the sound while approaching the source and again while moving away from the source after crossing it. If the velocity of sound is $340 \text{ m/s}$, the difference of the two frequencies the driver hears is: (in $\text{ Hz}$)

$A$ source $(S)$ of sound has a frequency of $240 \ Hz$. When the observer $(O)$ and the source move towards each other at a speed $v$ with respect to the ground (as shown in Case $1$ in the figure),the observer measures the frequency of the sound to be $288 \ Hz$. However,when the observer and the source move away from each other at the same speed $v$ with respect to the ground (as shown in Case $2$ in the figure),the observer measures the frequency of the sound to be $n \ Hz$. The value of $n$ is:

An engine is moving on a circular track with a constant speed. It is blowing a whistle of frequency $500 \ Hz$. The frequency received by an observer standing stationary at the centre of the track is

$A$ motorcyclist is moving around a circular track of radius $50 \ m$ with a constant speed of $25 \ m/s$. $A$ static siren at point $Y$ emits sound of frequency $n$. How many times (approximately) in an hour will the motorcyclist hear the sound of the actual frequency $n$?

$A$ car sounding a horn of frequency $1000 \,Hz$ passes a stationary observer. The ratio of frequencies of the horn noted by the observer before and after passing of the car is $11:9$. The speed of the car is (Speed of sound $v = 340 \,ms^{-1}$) (in $\,ms^{-1}$)
