The difference between the apparent frequency of a source of sound as perceived by an observer during its approach and recession is $2\%$ of the natural frequency of the source. If the velocity of sound in air is $300 \, m/s$,the velocity of the source is ... $m/s$ (Given that velocity of source < velocity of sound).

$A$ person is observing two trains,one coming towards him and the other leaving with the same speed $4\, m/s$. If their whistling frequencies are $240\, Hz$ each,then the number of beats per second heard by the person will be: (if the velocity of sound is $320\, m/s$)

$A$ train $S_1$,moving with a uniform velocity of $108 \ km/h$,approaches another train $S_2$ standing on a platform. An observer $O$ moves with a uniform velocity of $36 \ km/h$ towards $S_2$,as shown in the figure. Both the trains are blowing whistles of the same frequency $120 \ Hz$. When $O$ is $600 \ m$ away from $S_2$ and the distance between $S_1$ and $S_2$ is $800 \ m$,the number of beats heard by $O$ is: [Speed of sound $= 330 \ m/s$]

$A$ bus moving with a uniform speed of $72 \,km/h$ towards a building blows a horn of frequency $1.7 \,kHz$. If the speed of sound in air is $340 \,m/s$, what will be the frequency of the echo heard by the bus driver (in $\,kHz$)?

$A$ sound source is moving on a circular path of radius $R$ with constant angular speed $\omega$ in an anticlockwise direction and emits a frequency $n$. An observer performs simple harmonic motion along the path $QPR$ with time period $T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega}$ as shown in the figure. If at $t = 0$ the source is at $A$ and the observer is at $Q$,and assuming $OP$ is very large compared to the radius $R$ and $QP$,then:

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?
