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 $= 330 \, m/s$.

The driver of a car travelling with a speed $V_1 \ m/s$ towards a wall sounds a siren of frequency $n \ Hz$. If the velocity of sound in air is $V \ m/s$,then the frequency of sound reflected from the wall and as heard by the driver,in $Hz$,is

Two men are walking along a horizontal straight line in the same direction. The man in front walks at a speed of $1.0 \,m \,s^{-1}$ and the man behind walks at a speed of $2.0 \,m \,s^{-1}$. $A$ third man is standing at a height of $12 \,m$ above the same horizontal line such that all three men are in a vertical plane. The two walking men are blowing identical whistles which emit a sound of frequency $1430 \,Hz$. The speed of sound in air is $330 \,m \,s^{-1}$. At the instant when the moving men are $10 \,m$ apart,the stationary man is equidistant from them. The frequency of beats in $Hz$ heard by the stationary man at this instant is:

$A$ train is moving with a uniform speed $33 \ m/s$ and an observer is approaching the train with the same speed. If the train blows a whistle of frequency $1000 \ Hz$ and the velocity of sound is $333 \ m/s$,then the apparent frequency of the sound that the observer hears is: (in $Hz$)
