$A$ stationary source emits sound of frequency $f_0 = 492 \,Hz$. The sound is reflected by a large car approaching the source with a speed of $v_c = 2 \,ms^{-1}$. The reflected signal is received by the source and superposed with the original. What will be the beat frequency of the resulting signal in $Hz$? (Given that the speed of sound in air is $v = 330 \,ms^{-1}$ and the car reflects the sound at the frequency it has received).

$A$ police car moving at $22 \,ms^{-1}$ chases a motorcyclist. The policeman sounds a horn at $176 \,Hz$, while both of them move towards a stationary siren of frequency $165 \,Hz$. If the number of beats heard by the motorcyclist per second is zero, then the speed of the motorcycle is (Speed of sound in air $= 330 \,ms^{-1}$) (in $\,ms^{-1}$)

An engine moving away from a vertical cliff blows a horn at a frequency $f$. Its speed is $0.5 \%$ of the speed of sound in air. The frequency of the reflected sound received at the engine is ............ $f$.

Obtain the equation of frequency observed by an observer for a moving source and a moving observer at different velocities.
