$A$ whistle $S$ of frequency $f$ revolves in a circle of radius $R$ at a constant speed $v$. What is the ratio of maximum and minimum frequency detected by a detector $D$ at rest at a distance $2R$ from the center of the circle as shown in the figure?

  • A
    $\left(\frac{c+v}{c-v}\right)$
  • B
    $\sqrt{2}\left(\frac{c+v}{c-v}\right)$
  • C
    $\sqrt{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{(c+v)}{c \sqrt{2}}$

$A$ 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?

If a source emitting waves of frequency $f$ moves towards an observer with a velocity $v/4$ and the observer moves away from the source with a velocity $v/6$,the apparent frequency as heard by the observer will be ($v =$ velocity of sound).

$A$ stationary source is emitting sound at a fixed frequency $f_0$,which is reflected by two cars approaching the source. The difference between the frequencies of sound reflected from the cars is $1.2\%$ of $f_0$. What is the difference in the speeds of the cars (in $km/h$) to the nearest integer? The cars are moving at constant speeds much smaller than the speed of sound,which is $330 \ m/s$.

The frequency of sound heard by an observer moving towards a stationary source with certain speed is $n_1$ and if the observer moves away from the same source with same speed,the frequency of sound heard by the observer is $n_2$. If the speed of sound in air is $340 \ m/s$ and $n_1: n_2 = 71: 65$,then the speed of the observer is: (in $km/h$)

$A$ car is moving with a speed of $72 \text{ km/h}$ towards a roadside source that emits sound at a frequency of $850 \text{ Hz}$. The car driver listens to the sound while approaching the source and again while moving away from the source after crossing it. If the velocity of sound is $340 \text{ m/s}$, the difference of the two frequencies the driver hears is: (in $\text{ Hz}$)
