$A$ whistle producing sound waves of frequencies $9500 \ Hz$ and above is approaching a stationary person with speed $v \ ms^{-1}$. The velocity of sound in air is $300 \ ms^{-1}$. If the person can hear frequencies up to a maximum of $10,000 \ Hz$,the maximum value of $v$ up to which he can hear the whistle is ... $ms^{-1}$.

An engine sounding a whistle of frequency $2000 \,Hz$ is receding from a stationary observer at $72 \,km/h$. What is the apparent frequency heard by the observer (in $\,Hz$)? The velocity of sound in air is $340 \,m/s$.

$A$ train moving towards a hill at a speed of $72\ km/hr$ sounds a whistle of frequency $500\ Hz$. $A$ wind is blowing from the hill at a speed of $36\ km/hr$. If the speed of sound in air is $340\ m/s$,the frequency heard by a man on the hill (nearly) is ... $Hz$

Suppose that the speed of sound in air at a given temperature is $400 \ m/s$. An engine blows a whistle at $1200 \ Hz$ frequency. It is approaching an observer at the speed of $100 \ m/s$. What is the apparent frequency as heard by the observer in $Hz$?

$A$ train,standing in a station-yard,blows a whistle of frequency $400\; Hz$ in still air. The wind starts blowing in the direction from the yard to the station with a speed of $10\; m s^{-1}$. What are the frequency,wavelength,and speed of sound for an observer standing on the station's platform? Is the situation exactly identical to the case when the air is still and the observer runs towards the yard at a speed of $10\; m s^{-1}$? The speed of sound in still air can be taken as $340\; m s^{-1}$.

$A$ source and an observer move away from each other with a velocity of $10\; m/s$ with respect to the ground. If the observer finds the frequency of sound coming from the source as $1950\; Hz$,then the actual frequency of the source is .... $Hz$ (velocity of sound in air = $340\; m/s$).
