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
    $600$
  • B
    $585$
  • C

$A$ detector is released from rest over a source of sound of frequency $f_0 = 10^3 \, Hz$. The frequency observed by the detector at time $t$ is plotted in the graph. Given $g = 10 \, m/s^2$,find the speed of sound in air in $m/s$.

Which pre-assumptions are used for the Doppler effect?

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.

$A$ train moves towards a stationary observer with speed $34\, m/s$. The train sounds a whistle and its frequency registered by the observer is $f_1$. If the speed of the train is reduced to $17\, m/s$,the frequency registered is $f_2$. If the speed of sound is $340\, m/s$,then the ratio $f_1/f_2$ is

$A$ police car moving at $22 \ m/s$ chases a motorcyclist. The policeman sounds his horn at $176 \ Hz$,while both of them move towards a stationary siren of frequency $165 \ Hz$. Calculate the speed of the motorcycle,if it is given that he does not observe any beats. (in $m/s$)
