The observer is moving with velocity $v_0$ towards the stationary source of sound and then after crossing moves away from the source with velocity $v_0$. Assume that the medium through which the sound waves travel is at rest. If $v$ is the velocity of sound and $n$ is the frequency emitted by the source,then the difference between apparent frequencies heard by the observer is:

  • A
    $\frac{2 n v_0}{v}$
  • B
    $\frac{n v_0}{v}$
  • C
    $\frac{v}{2 n v_0}$
  • D
    $\frac{v}{n v_0}$

The driver of a bus approaching a big wall notices that the frequency of his bus's horn changes from $420\, Hz$ to $490\, Hz$,when he hears it after it gets reflected from the wall. Find the speed of the bus (in $kmh^{-1}$) if the speed of sound is $330\, ms^{-1}$.

When an 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 stationary source with velocity $V_1$,the apparent frequency is $F_2$. If $v$ is the velocity of sound in air and $\frac{F_1}{F_2} = 2$,then $\frac{v}{V_1}$ is equal to:

$A$ boy standing on a platform observes the frequency of a train horn as it passes by. The change in the frequency noticed as the train approaches and recedes him with a velocity of $108 \text{ km/h}$ is (speed of sound in air $= 330 \text{ m/s}$) (in $\%$)

$A$ bat is flitting about in a cave,navigating via ultrasonic beeps. Assume that the sound emission frequency of the bat is $40\; kHz$. During one fast swoop directly toward a flat wall surface,the bat is moving at $0.03$ times the speed of sound in air. What frequency (in $kHz$) does the bat hear reflected off the wall?
