Two sources of sound of same frequency are placed at a distance of $100\,m$ from each other. An observer moving in between them hears $4$ beats per second. If the distance between the sound sources is increased to $400\,m$,then the number of beats heard by him will be:

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $4$
  • C
    $8$
  • D
    $16$

An engine is moving with uniform speed along a circular track emitting a sound of frequency $400\, Hz$ as shown in the figure. The speed of the engine is $30\, m/s$ and the speed of sound is $330\, m/s$. An observer is standing inside the track. The maximum frequency observed by the observer is

Two trains are moving towards each other at speeds of $20 \, m/s$ and $15 \, m/s$ relative to the ground. The first train sounds a whistle of frequency $600 \, Hz$. The frequency of the whistle heard by a passenger in the second train before the trains meet is ...... $Hz$ (the speed of sound in air is $340 \, m/s$).

$A$ highway truck has two horns $A$ and $B$. When sounded together, the driver records $50$ beats in $10$ seconds. With horn $B$ blowing and the truck moving towards a wall at a speed of $10 \,m/s$, the driver notices a beat frequency of $5 \,Hz$ with the echo. When the frequency of $A$ is decreased, the beat frequency with the two horns sounded together increases. Calculate the frequency of horn $A$. (Speed of sound in air $= 330 \,m/s$) (in $\,Hz$)

$A$ source of sound and a listener are approaching each other with a speed of $40 \, m/s$. The apparent frequency of the note produced by the source is $400 \, cps$. Then,its true frequency (in $cps$) is (velocity of sound in air $= 360 \, m/s$).
