$A$ source of sound of frequency $n$ is moving towards a stationary observer with a speed $S$. If the speed of sound in air is $V$ and the frequency heard by the observer is $n_1$,the value of $n_1/n$ is

  • A
    $(V + S)/V$
  • B
    $V/(V + S)$
  • C
    $(V - S)/V$
  • D
    $V/(V - S)$

Two sources of sound $S_1$ and $S_2$ are moving towards and away from a stationary observer with the same speed $V$ respectively. The observer detects $3$ beats per second. Find the speed of the source (approximately) in $m/s$. Given: $f_1 = f_2 = 500 \, Hz$,speed of sound in air $= 330 \, m/s$.

$A$ sound source is moving towards a stationary listener with $1/10$th of the speed of sound. The ratio of apparent to real frequency is
