$A$ stationary source emits sound waves of frequency $500\, Hz$. Two observers moving along a line passing through the source detect sound to be of frequencies $480\, Hz$ and $530\, Hz$. Their respective speeds are,in $m\,s^{-1}$ (Given speed of sound $= 300\, m/s$)

  • A
    $16, 14$
  • B
    $12, 16$
  • C
    $8, 18$
  • D
    $12, 18$

An observer moves towards a stationary source of sound with a velocity of one-fifth of the velocity of sound. The percentage increase in the apparent frequency is (in $\%$)

$A$ 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:

$A$ whistle of frequency $540 Hz$ rotates in a horizontal circle of radius $2 m$ at an angular speed of $15 rad/s$. What is the highest frequency heard by a listener at rest with respect to the center of the circle (in $Hz$)? (Velocity of sound in air $= 330 m/s$)

$A$ whistle revolves in a circle with an angular speed of $20 \; rad/s$ using a string of length $50 \; cm.$ If the frequency of sound from the whistle is $385 \; Hz,$ then what is the minimum frequency heard by an observer,who is far away from the centre in the same plane? $(v = 340 \; m/s)$

The frequency changes by $10\%$ as a sound source approaches a stationary observer with constant speed $v_s$. What would be the percentage change in frequency as the source recedes from the observer with the same speed? (Given that $v_s < v$,where $v$ is the speed of sound in air)
