$A$ train is moving with a constant speed along a large circular track. The engine of the train emits a sound of frequency $f$. What is the frequency heard by the guard at the rear end of the train?

  • A
    is less than $f$
  • B
    is greater than $f$
  • C
    is equal to $f$
  • D
    may be greater than,less than or equal to $f$ depending on the factors like speed of train,length of train and radius of circular track

$A$ musician on a moving vehicle plays a tone at $880 \ Hz$. When the vehicle is approaching a listener,the listener receives it as an $888 \ Hz$ tone. What is the speed of the vehicle (in $m \ s^{-1}$)? (Assume the velocity of sound is $333 \ m \ s^{-1}$)

$A$ source and an observer are moving towards each other with a speed equal to $\frac{v}{2}$,where $v$ is the speed of sound. The source is emitting sound of frequency $n$. The frequency heard by the observer will be

$(a)$ When source of sound and listener move towards wall.$(i)$ Listener would hear a sound with same frequency as that of source.
$(b)$ When source of sound and listener move away from each other.$(ii)$ Listener would hear a sound with frequency smaller than that of source.
$(iii)$ Frequency of echo would be greater than that of source.

The observer is moving with velocity $v_0$ towards the stationary source of sound and then after crossing moves away from the source with velocity $v_0$. Assume that the medium through which the sound waves travel is at rest. If $v$ is the velocity of sound and $n$ is the frequency emitted by the source,then the difference between apparent frequencies heard by the observer is:

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