An engine is moving on a circular path of radius $200 \,m$ with a speed of $15 \,m/s$. What will be the frequency heard by an observer who is at rest at the centre of the circular path,when the engine blows the whistle with a frequency of $250 \,Hz$?

  • A
    Less than $250 \,Hz$
  • B
    Greater than $250 \,Hz$
  • C
    $250 \,Hz$
  • D

$A$ car sounding a horn of frequency $1200 \text{ Hz}$ passes a stationary observer. The ratio of frequencies of the horn noted by the observer before and after passing the car is $7:5$. If the speed of sound is $V$,the speed of the car is:

Two cars $A$ and $B$ are moving away from each other in opposite directions. Both cars are moving with a speed of $20 \, ms^{-1}$ with respect to the ground. If an observer in car $A$ detects a frequency of $2000 \, Hz$ from the sound source in car $B$,what is the natural frequency of the sound source of car $B$ (in $Hz$)? (Speed of sound in air $= 340 \, ms^{-1}$)

$A$ 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 $340\; m s^{-1}$.

An observer is standing $500 \,m$ away from a vertical hill. Starting between the observer and the hill, a police van sounding a siren of frequency $1000 \,Hz$ moves towards the hill with a uniform speed. If the frequency of the sound heard directly from the siren is $970 \,Hz$, the frequency of the sound heard after reflection from the hill (in $Hz$) is about, (velocity of sound $= 330 \,m/s$):

$A$ source and an observer approach each other with the same velocity $50 \, m/s$. If the apparent frequency is $435 \, s^{-1}$,then the real frequency is .... $s^{-1}$ (Take speed of sound $v = 332 \, m/s$)
