The speed of sound in air at a given temperature is $350 \, m/s$. An engine blows a whistle at a frequency of $1200 \, cps$. It is approaching the observer with a velocity of $50 \, m/s$. The apparent frequency in $cps$ heard by the observer will be:

  • A
    $600$
  • B
    $1050$
  • C
    $1400$
  • D
    $2400$

$A$ source and an observer move away from each other with the same velocity of $10 \,ms^{-1}$ with respect to the ground. If the observer finds the frequency of sound coming from the source as $1980 \,Hz$, then the actual frequency of the source is (speed of sound in air $= 340 \,ms^{-1}$). (in $\,Hz$)

$A$ 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 $340 \, m/s$).

The frequency changes by $10 \%$ as a sound source approaches a stationary observer with constant speed $V_s$. What would be the percentage change in the frequency as the source recedes from the observer with the same speed $\left(V_s < V\right)$ (in $.5$)?

View Solution

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:

$A$ sound source $S$ is moving along a straight track with speed $v,$ and is emitting sound of frequency $v_{0}.$ An observer is standing at a finite distance,at the point $O,$ from the track. The time variation of frequency heard by the observer is best represented by (where $t_{0}$ represents the instant when the distance between the source and observer is minimum).
