$A$ vehicle with a horn of frequency $n$ is moving with a velocity of $30\, m/s$ in a direction perpendicular to the straight line joining the observer and the vehicle. The observer perceives the sound to have a frequency $n + n_1$. Then (if the sound velocity in air is $300\, m/s$):

  • A
    $n_1 = 10\,n$
  • B
    $n_1 = 0$
  • C
    $n_1 = 0.1\,n$
  • D
    $n_1 = -0.1\,n$

An audio transmitter $(T)$ and a receiver $(R)$ are hung vertically from two identical massless strings of length $8 \ m$ with their pivots well separated along the $X$ axis. They are pulled from the equilibrium position in opposite directions along the $X$ axis by a small angular amplitude $\theta_0 = \cos^{-1}(0.9)$ and released simultaneously. If the natural frequency of the transmitter is $660 \ Hz$ and the speed of sound in air is $330 \ m/s$,the maximum variation in the frequency (in $Hz$) as measured by the receiver (Take the acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \ m/s^2$) is:

Two persons $A$ and $B$, each carrying a source of sound of frequency $n$, are standing a few metres apart in a quiet field. $A$ starts moving towards $B$ with a speed $u$. If $v$ is the speed of sound, the number of beats heard per second by $A$ will be

An observer moves towards a stationary source of sound with a velocity equal to one-fifth of the velocity of sound. The percentage change in the frequency will be $\dots \;$%.

$A$ bus driving along at $39.6 \,km/h$ is approaching a person who is standing at the bus stop,while honking repeatedly at an interval of $30 \,s$. If the speed of sound is $330 \,ms^{-1}$,at what interval will the person hear the horn?

$A$ source of sound is travelling towards a stationary observer. The frequency of sound heard by the observer is three times the original frequency. If the velocity of sound is $v \ m/s$,the speed of the source will be:
