A train whistling at constant frequency is moving towards a station at a constant speed $V$. The train goes past a stationary observer on the station. The frequency $n'$ of the sound as heard by the observer is plotted as a function of time $t (Fig.)$ . Identify the expected curve
The apparent frequency of a sound wave as heard by an observer is $10\%$ more than the actual frequency. If the velocity of sound in air is $330\, m/sec$, then
$(i)$ The source may be moving towards the observer with a velocity of $30\,ms^{-1}$
$(ii)$ The source may be moving towards the observer with a velocity of $33\,ms^{-1}$
$(iii)$ The observer may be moving towards the source with a velocity of $30\,ms^{-1}$
$(iv)$ The observer may be moving towards the source with a velocity of $33\,ms^{-1}$
An engine is moving towards a wall with a velocity $50\, ms^{-1}$ emits a note of $1.2\, kHz$. The speed of sound in air is $350\, ms^{-1}$. The frequency of the note after reflection from the wall as heard by the driver of the engine is ..... $kHz$
Two vibrating strings of the same material but lengths $L$ and $2L$ have radii $2r$ and $r$ respectively. They are stretched under the same tension . Both the strings vibrate in their fundamental modes, the one of length $L$ with frequency $f_1$ and the other with frequency $f_2$. The ratio $\frac{f_1}{f_2}$ is given by
In a Fraunhofer's diffraction obtained by a single slit aperture, the value of path difference for $n^{th}$ order of minima is
Two identical sounds $S_1$ and $S_2$ reach at a point $P$ in phase. The resultant loudness at point $P$ is $n\,\, dB$ higher than the loudness of $S_1$. The value of $n$ is
