Two engines pass each other moving in opposite directions with a uniform speed of $30\,m/s$. One of them is blowing a whistle of frequency $540\,Hz$. Calculate the frequency heard by the driver of the second engine before they pass each other. (Speed of sound is $330\,m/s$).

  • A
    $450$
  • B
    $540$
  • C
    $270$
  • D
    $648$

When the source of sound moves towards a stationary observer,the wavelength of sound received by him

Statement $-1$: Due to the motion of the listener,the frequency of the sound waves (as received by the listener) emitted by a stationary source is affected.
Statement $-2$: Due to the motion of the source,the wavelength of the sound waves (emitted by the source) as received by a stationary listener is affected.
Statement $-3$: If the receiver and the source are both moving,the observed frequency must be different from the original frequency of the source.
Treat the motion of the source or listener as always along the line joining them for all the above cases.

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:

An obstacle is moving towards the source with velocity $v$. The sound is reflected from the obstacle. If $c$ is the speed of sound and $\lambda$ is the wavelength,then the wavelength of the reflected wave $(\lambda_{r})$ is

$A$ source with a frequency of $500 \,Hz$ moves towards a stationary observer with a velocity of $30 \,m/s$. What frequency (in $Hz$) will the observer hear? (The speed of sound in air is $330 \,m/s$.)
