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?

  • A
    $2.8$
  • B
    $2$
  • C

Two sources of sound $S_1$ and $S_2$ are moving towards and away from a stationary observer with the same speed $V$ respectively. The observer detects $3$ beats per second. Find the speed of the source (approximately) in $m/s$. Given: $f_1 = f_2 = 500 \, Hz$,speed of sound in air $= 330 \, m/s$.

When a train is approaching a stationary observer,the apparent frequency of the whistle of the train is $n_1$,and when the train is moving away from the observer,the apparent frequency is $n_2$. The frequency of the whistle noticed by the observer when he moves with the train is . . . . . . .
