When both the source of sound and the observer approach each other with a speed equal to $10 \%$ of the speed of sound,then the percentage change in frequency heard by the observer is nearly (in $\%$)

$A$ source of sound of frequency $90 \text{ vibrations/sec}$ is approaching a stationary observer with a speed equal to $1/10$ the speed of sound. What will be the frequency heard by the observer in $\text{vibrations/sec}$?

With what velocity an observer should move relative to a stationary source so that a sound of triple the frequency of source is heard by an observer?

An observer starts moving with uniform acceleration $a$ toward a stationary sound source emitting a whistle of frequency $n$. As the observer approaches the source,the apparent frequency $n'$ heard by the observer varies with time $t$ as:

$A$ source of sound $A$ emitting waves of frequency $1800\,Hz$ is falling towards the ground with a terminal speed $v.$ The observer $B$ on the ground directly beneath the source receives waves of frequency $2150\,Hz.$ The source $A$ receives waves,reflected from the ground,of frequency nearly ..... $Hz$ (Speed of sound $= 343\,m/s$)
