Two cars are moving on two perpendicular roads towards a crossing with uniform speeds of $72\; km/hr$ and $36\; km/hr$. If the first car blows a horn of frequency $280\; Hz$,then the frequency of the horn heard by the driver of the second car when the line joining the cars makes a $45^o$ angle with the roads will be .... $Hz$.

$A$ stationary source is emitting sound at a fixed frequency $f_0$,which is reflected by two cars approaching the source. The difference between the frequencies of sound reflected from the cars is $1.2\%$ of $f_0$. What is the difference in the speeds of the cars (in $km/h$) to the nearest integer? The cars are moving at constant speeds much smaller than the speed of sound,which is $330 \ m/s$.

When the observer moves towards a stationary source with velocity $V_1$,the apparent frequency of the emitted note is $F_1$. When the observer moves away from the source with velocity $V_1$,the apparent frequency is $F_2$. If $V$ is the velocity of sound in air and $F_1 / F_2 = 2$,then $V / V_1$ is equal to:

$A$ speeding motorcyclist sees a traffic jam ahead. He slows down to $36\, km\, h^{-1}$. He finds that the traffic has eased and a car moving ahead of him at $18\, km\, h^{-1}$ is honking at a frequency of $1392\, Hz$. If the speed of sound is $343\, m s^{-1}$,the frequency of the honk as heard by him will be .... $Hz$.

$A$ source at rest emits sound waves of frequency $102 \ Hz$. Two observers are moving away from the source of sound in opposite directions,each with a speed of $10 \%$ of the speed of sound. The ratio of the frequencies of sound heard by the observers is
