$A$ train is moving along a semicircular track. The engine is at one end of the semicircular part of the track,while the last carriage is at the other end. The driver blows a whistle of frequency $200 \ Hz$. The velocity of sound is $340 \ m/s$. If the speed of the train is $30 \ m/s$,what is the apparent frequency observed by a passenger in the middle of the train (in $Hz$)?

  • A
    $209$
  • B
    $288$
  • C
    $200$
  • D
    $181$

An observer is riding on a bicycle and moving towards a hill at $18\,km\,h^{-1}$. He hears a sound from a source at some distance behind him directly as well as after its reflection from the hill. If the original frequency of the sound as emitted by the source is $640\,Hz$ and the velocity of sound in air is $320\,m/s$,the beat frequency between the two sounds heard by the observer will be $...Hz$.

Two loudspeakers $M$ and $N$ are located $20 \ m$ apart and emit sound at frequencies $118 \ Hz$ and $121 \ Hz$,respectively. $A$ car is initially at a point $P$,$1800 \ m$ away from the midpoint $Q$ of the line $MN$ and moves towards $Q$ constantly at $60 \ km/h$ along the perpendicular bisector of $MN$. It crosses $Q$ and eventually reaches a point $R$,$1800 \ m$ away from $Q$. Let $v(t)$ represent the beat frequency measured by a person sitting in the car at time $t$. Let $v_P, v_Q$ and $v_R$ be the beat frequencies measured at locations $P, Q$ and $R$,respectively. The speed of sound in air is $330 \ m/s$. Which of the following statement$(s)$ is(are) true regarding the sound heard by the person?
$(A)$ $v_P + v_R = 2v_Q$
$(B)$ The rate of change in beat frequency is maximum when the car passes through $Q$
$(C)$ The plot below represents schematically the variation of beat frequency with time (Left plot)
$(D)$ The plot below represents schematically the variation of beat frequency with time (Right plot)

$A$ train is approaching a platform with a speed of $10 \,ms^{-1}$ while blowing a whistle of frequency $340 \,Hz$. What is the frequency of the whistle heard by a stationary observer on the platform (in $\,Hz$)? (Given speed of sound $= 340 \,ms^{-1}$)

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 $= 340 \, ms^{-1}$)

With what velocity an observer should move relative to a stationary source so that a sound of double the frequency of the source is heard by the observer?
