Two trucks heading in opposite directions, each with a speed of $0.1 u$, approach each other. The speed of sound is $u$. The driver of the first truck sounds his horn with a frequency of $495 \,Hz$. Let $v_1$ and $v_2$ be the frequencies heard by the driver of the second truck when the trucks are approaching each other and when the trucks have passed each other, respectively. The magnitude of $v_1 - v_2$ is (in $\,Hz$)

    $150$
  • B
    $200$
  • C
    $220$
  • D

$A$ person carrying a whistle emitting a note of $272 \text{ Hz}$ is running towards a reflecting surface with a speed of $18 \text{ km/h}$. The speed of sound in air is $345 \text{ m/s}$. The number of beats heard by him is:

$A$ source,approaching with speed $u$ towards the open end of a stationary pipe of length $L$,is emitting a sound of frequency $f_s$. The farther end of the pipe is closed. The speed of sound in air is $v$ and $f_0$ is the fundamental frequency of the pipe. For which of the following combination$(s)$ of $u$ and $f_s$,will the sound reaching the pipe lead to a resonance?
$(A)$ $u=0.8 v$ and $f_s=f_0$
$(B)$ $u=0.8 v$ and $f_s=2 f_0$
$(C)$ $u=0.8 v$ and $f_s=0.5 f_0$
$(D)$ $u=0.5 v$ and $f_s=1.5 f_0$

$A$ bat is flitting about in a cave,navigating via ultrasonic beeps. Assume that the sound emission frequency of the bat is $40\; kHz$. During one fast swoop directly toward a flat wall surface,the bat is moving at $0.03$ times the speed of sound in air. What frequency (in $kHz$) does the bat hear reflected off the wall?

$A$ train is moving along a semicircular track. The engine is at one end of the semicircular part of the track,while the last carriage is at the other end. The driver blows a whistle of frequency $200 \ Hz$. The velocity of sound is $340 \ m/s$. If the speed of the train is $30 \ m/s$,what is the apparent frequency observed by a passenger in the middle of the train (in $Hz$)?

View Solution

$A$ source emitting sound of frequency $288 \,Hz$ is tied to a string of $100 \,cm$ length and rotated with an angular velocity of $20 \,rad/s$ in the horizontal plane. The range of frequencies heard by an observer standing at a distance of $5 \,m$ from the source is (in $Hz$) (Speed of sound in air $= 340 \,m/s$)
