The apparent frequency of a note,when a listener moves towards a stationary source with a velocity of $40 \ m/s$,is $200 \ Hz$. When the listener moves away from the same source with the same speed,the apparent frequency of the same note is $160 \ Hz$. The velocity of sound in air is (in $m/s$):

An observer is approaching with a speed $v$ towards a stationary source emitting sound waves of wavelength $\lambda_0$. The wavelength shift detected by the observer is (Take $c$ as the speed of sound).

$A$ source of sound is travelling towards a stationary observer. The frequency of sound heard by the observer is three times the original frequency. If the velocity of sound is $v \ m/s$,the speed of the source will be:

Two men are walking along a horizontal straight line in the same direction. The man in front walks at a speed $1.0 \ m \ s^{-1}$ and the man behind walks at a speed $2.0 \ m \ s^{-1}$. $A$ third man is standing at a height $12 \ m$ above the same horizontal line such that all three men are in a vertical plane. The two walking men are blowing identical whistles which emit a sound of frequency $1430 \ Hz$. The speed of sound in air is $330 \ m \ s^{-1}$. At the instant when the moving men are $10 \ m$ apart,the stationary man is equidistant from them. The frequency of beats in $Hz$ heard by the stationary man at this instant is:

$A$ source of sound is travelling at $\frac{100}{3} \, m/s$ along a road,towards a point $A$. When the source is $3 \, m$ away from $A$,a person is standing at a point $O$ on a road perpendicular to the path of the source. The distance of $O$ from $A$ at that time is $4 \, m$. If the original frequency is $640 \, Hz$,then the apparent frequency heard by the person is ...... $Hz$ (speed of sound is $340 \, m/s$).
