If a source emitting waves of frequency $F$ moves towards an observer with a velocity $V/3$ and the observer moves away from the source with a velocity $V/4$,the apparent frequency as heard by the observer will be ($V=$ velocity of sound).

  • A
    $9/8 F$
  • B
    $8/9 F$
  • C
    $3/4 F$
  • D

$A$ musician on a moving vehicle plays a tone at $880 \ Hz$. When the vehicle is approaching a listener,the listener receives it as an $888 \ Hz$ tone. What is the speed of the vehicle (in $m \ s^{-1}$)? (Assume the velocity of sound is $333 \ m \ s^{-1}$)

$A$ source of sound emits sound waves at frequency $f_0$. It is moving towards an observer with fixed speed $v_s$ ($v_s < v$,where $v$ is the speed of sound in air). If the observer were to move towards the source with speed $v_0$,the variation of the frequency $f$ heard by the observer as $v_0$ is changed is given by one of the following two graphs ($A$ and $B$). The variation of $f$ with $v_0$ is given correctly by:
