The pitch of a whistle of an engine appears to drop by $30 \%$ of its original value when it passes a stationary observer. If the speed of sound in air is $350 \ m/s$,then the speed of the engine in $m/s$ is:

  • A
    $840$
  • B
    $700$
  • C
    $175$
  • D
    $150$

Two cars moving in opposite directions approach each other with speeds of $22 \, m s^{-1}$ and $16.5 \, m s^{-1}$ respectively. The driver of the first car blows a horn having a frequency of $400 \, Hz$. The frequency heard by the driver of the second car is ..... $Hz$ (velocity of sound is $340 \, m s^{-1}$)

Two sources $A$ and $B$ are sounding notes of frequency $660 \, Hz$. $A$ listener moves from $A$ to $B$ with a constant velocity $u$. If the speed of sound is $330 \, m/s$,what must be the value of $u$ so that he hears $8$ beats per second?

An observer moves towards a stationary source of sound with a velocity of one-fifth of the velocity of sound. The percentage increase in the apparent frequency is (in $\%$)

When the source of sound moves away from a stationary listener,we obtain $f_{L} < f_{S}$. Why?

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