An observer is moving towards a stationary source of sound. In this case:

  • A
    Apparent frequency will be less than the real frequency
  • B
    Apparent frequency will be greater than the real frequency
  • C
    Apparent frequency will be equal to the real frequency
  • D
    Only the quality of sound will change

With what speed should a sound source move towards an observer so that the observer hears half the original frequency $(v)$?

$A$ train moves towards a stationary observer with speed $34\, m/s$. The train sounds a whistle and its frequency registered by the observer is $f_1$. If the speed of the train is reduced to $17\, m/s$,the frequency registered is $f_2$. If the speed of sound is $340\, m/s$,then the ratio $f_1/f_2$ is

$A$ source and an observer both start moving simultaneously from the origin,one along the $x-$axis and the other along the $y-$axis,with the speed of the source being twice the speed of the observer. The graph between the apparent frequency $f$ observed by the observer and time $t$ would approximately be:

$A$ car is moving at a velocity of $17 \ m/s$ towards an approaching bus that blows a horn at a frequency of $640 \ Hz$ on a straight track. The frequency of this horn appears to be $680 \ Hz$ to the car driver. If the velocity of sound in air is $340 \ m/s$,then the velocity of the approaching bus is: (in $m/s$)

$A$ source of sound emitting a note of frequency $200 Hz$ moves towards an observer with a velocity $v$ equal to the velocity of sound. If the observer also moves away from the source with the same velocity $v$,the apparent frequency heard by the observer is .... $Hz$
