$A$ source of sound $S$ is moving with a velocity $50 \ m/s$ towards a stationary observer. The observer measures the frequency of the source as $1000 \ Hz$. What will be the apparent frequency of the source when it is moving away from the observer after crossing him? The velocity of sound in the medium is $350 \ m/s$.

$A$ police car moving at $22 \ m/s$ chases a motorcyclist. The policeman sounds his horn at $176 \ Hz$,while both of them move towards a stationary siren of frequency $165 \ Hz$. Calculate the speed of the motorcycle,if it is given that he does not observe any beats. (in $m/s$)

$A$ person observes two moving trains,$A$ reaching the station and $B$ leaving the station with equal speed of $30\,m/s$. If both trains emit sounds with frequency $300\,Hz$,(Speed of sound : $330\,m/s$) the approximate difference of frequencies heard by the person will be $..........Hz$.

$A$ police car horn emits a sound at a frequency $240 \text{ Hz}$ when the car is at rest. If the speed of sound is $330 \text{ m/s}$,the frequency heard by an observer who is approaching the car at a speed of $11 \text{ m/s}$ is ... $\text{ Hz}$.

Match Column-$A$ with Column-$B$.
Column-$A$Column-$B$
$(a)$ When source of sound and listener move towards wall.$(i)$ Listener would hear a sound with same frequency as that of source.
$(b)$ When source of sound and listener move away from each other.$(ii)$ Listener would hear a sound with frequency smaller than that of source.
$(iii)$ Frequency of echo would be greater than that of source.
