$A$ train moves towards a stationary observer with a speed of $34 \ m/s$. The train sounds a whistle and its frequency registered by the observer is $f_1$. If the train's speed is reduced to $17 \ m/s$,the frequency registered is $f_2$. If the speed of sound is $340 \ m/s$,then the ratio $f_1/f_2$ is:

  • A
    $18/19$
  • B
    $1/2$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $19/18$

$A$ sound source $S$ is moving along a straight track with speed $v,$ and is emitting sound of frequency $v_{0}.$ An observer is standing at a finite distance,at the point $O,$ from the track. The time variation of frequency heard by the observer is best represented by (where $t_{0}$ represents the instant when the distance between the source and observer is minimum).

$A$ detector is released from rest over a source of sound of frequency $f_0 = 10^3 \, Hz$. The frequency observed by the detector at time $t$ is plotted in the graph. Given $g = 10 \, m/s^2$,find the speed of sound in air in $m/s$.

$A$ source with a frequency of $500 \,Hz$ moves towards a stationary observer with a velocity of $30 \,m/s$. What frequency (in $Hz$) will the observer hear? (The speed of sound in air is $330 \,m/s$.)

$A$ bus is moving with a velocity of $5 \, ms^{-1}$ towards a huge wall. The driver sounds a horn of frequency $165 \, Hz$. If the speed of sound in air is $335 \, ms^{-1}$, the number of beats heard per second by the passengers in the bus will be:

$A$ train moving at a speed of $220\, m s^{-1}$ towards a stationary object,emits a sound of frequency $1000\, Hz$. Some of the sound reaching the object gets reflected back to the train as an echo. The frequency of the echo as detected by the driver of the train is ...... $Hz$. (Speed of sound in air is $330\, m s^{-1}$)
