Two trains move towards each other with the same speed. The speed of sound is $340 \; m/s$. If the pitch of the whistle of one train heard by an observer on the other train changes by a factor of $9/8$,then the speed of each train is ........... $m/s$.

$A$ train whistling at a constant frequency $n_0$ is moving towards a station at a constant speed $v$. The train passes a stationary observer on the station. The frequency $n$ of the sound as heard by the observer is plotted as a function of time $t$. Identify the expected curve.

Obtain the equation for the frequency observed by a stationary observer when the source is moving.

$A$ vehicle with a horn of frequency $n$ is moving with a velocity of $30\, m/s$ in a direction perpendicular to the straight line joining the observer and the vehicle. The observer perceives the sound to have a frequency $n + n_1$. Then (if the sound velocity in air is $300\, m/s$):

The driver of a bus approaching a big wall notices that the frequency of his bus's horn changes from $420\, Hz$ to $490\, Hz$,when he hears it after it gets reflected from the wall. Find the speed of the bus (in $kmh^{-1}$) if the speed of sound is $330\, ms^{-1}$.

$S_1$ and $S_2$ are two identical sound sources of frequency $656 \ Hz$. The source $S_1$ is located at $O$ and $S_2$ moves anti-clockwise with a uniform speed $4 \sqrt{2} \ ms^{-1}$ on a circular path around $O$,as shown in the figure. There are three points $P, Q$ and $R$ on this path such that $P$ and $R$ are diametrically opposite while $Q$ is equidistant from them. $A$ sound detector is placed at point $P$. The source $S_1$ can move along direction $OP$.
[Given: The speed of sound in air is $324 \ ms^{-1}$]
$(1)$ When only $S_2$ is emitting sound and it is at $Q$,the frequency of sound measured by the detector in $Hz$ is. . . . . .
$(2)$ Consider both sources emitting sound. When $S_2$ is at $R$ and $S_1$ approaches the detector with a speed $4 \ ms^{-1}$,the beat frequency measured by the detector is $\qquad$ $Hz$.
