Derive the expression for the speed of a sound wave and obtain the equations for the speed of sound in different media.

$A$ car is moving with a speed of $72 \,km/h$ towards a hill. The car blows its horn at a distance of $1800 \,m$ from the hill. If the echo is heard after $10 \,s$,the speed of sound (in $m/s$) is:

Mention the type of ultrasonic waves and their frequency.

The pressure wave,$P = 0.01 \sin(1000t - 3x) \, N m^{-2}$,corresponds to the sound produced by a vibrating blade on a day when atmospheric temperature is $0 \, ^oC$. On some other day when temperature is $T$,the speed of sound produced by the same blade and at the same frequency is found to be $336 \, m s^{-1}$. The approximate value of $T$ is .... $^oC$

$A$ train, standing in a station-yard, blows a whistle of frequency $400\,Hz$ in still air. The wind starts blowing in the direction from the yard to the station with a speed of $10\,ms^{-1}$. What will be the frequency and speed of sound for an observer? (The speed of sound in still air is $340\,ms^{-1}$)
