An engine is moving on a circular track with a constant speed. It is blowing a whistle of frequency $500 \ Hz$. The frequency received by an observer standing stationary at the centre of the track is

  • A
    $500 \ Hz$
  • B
    More than $500 \ Hz$
  • C
    Less than $500 \ Hz$
  • D
    More or less than $500 \ Hz$ depending on the actual speed of the engine

$A$ siren placed at a railway platform is emitting sound of frequency $5 \text{ kHz}$. $A$ passenger sitting in a moving train $A$ records a frequency of $5.5 \text{ kHz}$ while the train approaches the siren. During his return journey in a different train $B$,he records a frequency of $6.0 \text{ kHz}$ while approaching the same siren. The ratio of the velocity of train $B$ to that of train $A$ is

$A$ source and a listener are both moving towards each other with a speed of $\frac{V}{10}$ (where $V$ is the speed of sound). If the frequency of the sound note emitted by the source is $n$,then the frequency heard by the listener would be nearly:

$A$ car $A$ is chasing another car $B$ with a speed of $20 \, m/s$,sounding a horn of frequency $180 \, Hz$. Both cars are moving towards a stationary siren of frequency $170 \, Hz$. What is the speed of car $B$ so that it does not hear any beats (in $, m/s$)? (Speed of sound $= 340 \, m/s$)
