$A$ source and an observer move away from each other with a velocity of $10\; m/s$ with respect to the ground. If the observer finds the frequency of sound coming from the source as $1950\; Hz$,then the actual frequency of the source is .... $Hz$ (velocity of sound in air = $340\; m/s$).

$A$ train moving towards a hill at a speed of $72\ km/hr$ sounds a whistle of frequency $500\ Hz$. $A$ wind is blowing from the hill at a speed of $36\ km/hr$. If the speed of sound in air is $340\ m/s$,the frequency heard by a man on the hill (nearly) is ... $Hz$

$A$ source of sound emitting a note of frequency $200 Hz$ moves towards an observer with a velocity $v$ equal to the velocity of sound. If the observer also moves away from the source with the same velocity $v$,the apparent frequency heard by the observer is .... $Hz$

An observer is standing $500 \,m$ away from a vertical hill. Starting between the observer and the hill, a police van sounding a siren of frequency $1000 \,Hz$ moves towards the hill with a uniform speed. If the frequency of the sound heard directly from the siren is $970 \,Hz$, the frequency of the sound heard after reflection from the hill (in $Hz$) is about, (velocity of sound $= 330 \,m/s$):

The apparent frequency of a note,when a listener moves towards a stationary source with a velocity of $40 \ m/s$,is $200 \ Hz$. When the listener moves away from the same source with the same speed,the apparent frequency of the same note is $160 \ Hz$. The velocity of sound in air is (in $m/s$):
